hi. me again.
i think all psychiatrists estimate their patients' IQ during treatment. I don't know how good those estimates are, but I think its part of standard, ongoing treatment.
i guess im just curious because so much DSM stuff seems so subjective and...I question the validity of a lot of it, honestly and yet...
people do have mental problems, and some of the available drugs do help, sometimes. I was just kind of hoping that maybe IQ (estimate or actual tested level) was somehow a part of diagnosis, or that maybe there was some sort of data on how IQ affects long term functioning.
