Modern psychiatric treatment first requires an accurate diagnosis. There is an internationally accepted standard for psychiatric diagnosis. It is called the "DSM-IV" (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fourth Revision, by the American Psychiatric Association). This diagnostic system (and its identical twin, the European ICD-10 system) has proven validity and reliability. All psychiatric research now is based on this diagnostic system.

At MyTherapy, we generate 80 of the most common psychiatric diagnoses using a computerized diagnosis program, called Decisionbase™. Decisionbase™ diagnoses conform exactly to the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-IV. Specific treatment goals are automatically generated by Decisionbase™.

Our computer program, Decisionbase™, also records the changes in your Quality of Life (in a computer generated diary). In addition, Decisionbase™ statistically analyzes the success or failure of your therapies.
