                  1. hard to define what is truely 'deviant'
                  2. Classification systems

                      1. focuses on all diseases

                                1. diagnosis can be seen as unreliable as many clinicians could diagnose the same symptoms as different mental health disorders.
                                  1. can be solved by an inter-rater reliability test- where two clinician agree on the diagnosis
                                  2. patient factors
                                    1. the patient may not be honest about all their symptoms because of denial, shame or lack of memory.
                                    2. Clinician factors
                                      1. Different types of clinicians have different types of qualifications and teaching.
                                        1. can lead to different diagnosis
                                          1. can focus upon different things on the client
