What manual or set of guidelines is used to diagnose mental illness where you live? I live in the US and they mainly go by the DSM. I'm just curious to see differences by country, I think I've read there are slight differences in criteria. 
PS, this is an interesting grid that compares the DSV-IV and the DSM-V criteria for personality disorders...not sure if it's proposed or actually in use.
