The staging method, whereby a disorder is characterized according to seriousness, extension and features, has achieved wide currency in medicine but is currently neglected in psychiatry. Studies addressing or related to the issue of staging in schizophrenia, unipolar depression, bipolar disorder and panic disorder are discussed. The phenomenological development of these mental disorders may be categorized according to stages.
分期方法是根据疾病的严重程度、范围和特征对其进行界定，该方法在医学领域已广泛应用，但目前在精神病学中却被忽视。本文将讨论针对精神分裂症、单相抑郁症、双相情感障碍和惊恐障碍分期问题的研究或与之相关的研究。这些精神障碍的现象学发展可按阶段进行分类。
