Tipsters, does anybody know why the DSM uses capital letters when referring to a mental disorder in the text (e.g., Mood Disorders instead of mood disorders)? As this is not the case in the ICD-10, how widely are the capital letters used? I would also like to hear from international colleagues whether they also use capital letters when translating into their own languages. I know that in some languages (e.g., German) capital letters are used in the case of a noun, but in other languages it is regarded as wrong. Thanks.
