Distinguishing signs vs symptoms #62

Closed anirudh4792 closed 6 years ago

anirudh4792 commented 6 years ago

Not surprisingly, there are not too many signs (marked with index 1 in a copy of the existing spreadsheet), with the same signs presenting themselves across different contexts/disorders (eg shaking during a panic attack vs shaking due to alcohol withdrawal)

The disorders/cases were signs are present are panic disorder, repetitive motor movements, tic disorders (both vocal and motor), weight loss or weight gain, language disorders (reading: inaccurate reading, writing - spelling mistakes), speaking disorders (eg stuttering - # of stutter words), physical symptoms associated with substance abuse and withdrawal.

I had some difficulties classifying some (eg repetitive use of objects - can we count the number of times the object is used, sleep disorders, eating disorders (eg attempt to binge eat within two hours can be counted)

Next steps mapping to indirectly measure symptoms through signs (eg blushed face can in turn be measured by redness)
