Psychiatric Symptoms in Community, Clinic, and Mental Hospital Groups
TLDR
Responses to questions about 46 symptoms show that quantitative resemblance exists, and regardless of clinicians' ratings of severity, the particular symptoms tended to be judged less serious by those who reported them in nonpatient than in patient groups.Abstract:
