  • Dimensional Approach: An alternative to categorical classification that assesses mental health on a continuum, considering severity and spectrum of symptoms rather than fixed categories.

  • Nosology: The branch of medical science that deals with classification of diseases, including mental disorders, aiming for systematic organization.
