@ws1022 I’m torn on this one, but I think leaning ever-so-slightly against it. Just because even though, as you rightly point out, the DSM-5 does prefer the ‘…and related disorders’ it presents a couple of problems: that particular phrasing isn’t in otherwise uniform use, nor is it mentioned in any of the main primary resources for the MCAT (Kaplan, UWorld, etc). That puts us in a tough spot, and leaves me thinking that it might be best left as-is, though I understand the strain that places when referencing clinical and otherwise diagnostic references that aren’t fully in line with the MCAT.
I get the hesitation with this, but I feel if we’re going to reference and put information on a card to learn for everyone then adding the proper name definitely would help people more than hinder anything else. It may not be how its referenced in MCAT text but its probably best to use the official name so everything is congruent across the board. People will understand what they’re referencing when reading it.
I’m definitely not all-or-nothing about it, and I see where you’re coming from. It does represent well an example of where sometimes the MCAT (and what is tested) is sort of constrained compared to, well, gestures broadly, all the information out there.
Sometimes it’s a battle between what is most literally correct and what is most appropriate within the confines of MCAT source material. Usually those things overlap for the most part (thankfully), but not always (even more the case with older sources; there are some older Khan Academy things that get pretty dicey).
It also doesn’t seem high-stakes, in any case. Neither option is obviously treacherous for any disqualifying reason.
It’s late (for me) and my brain is tired so I’ll sleep on it for the time being. Thanks for your thoughts (and all your suggestions).
