Fundamentally problematic to this effort is a patient meeting diagnostic criteria for more than one disorder. The clinician must then decide which disorder provides the correct diagnosis or, alternatively, conclude that the person is suffering from two comorbid disorders. The term comorbidity was first coined by Feinstein (1970) to mean, “any distinct additional clinical entity that has existed or that may occur during the clinical course of a patient who has the index disease under study” (pp. 456–467). In psychiatric epidemiology, the term has typically meant the relative risk of having another disorder given the presence of the index condition (Maser & Cloninger, 1990).
