  • Other Comments:

    PDs are difficult to be diagnosed and hence diagnostic improvements are required for proper treatment planning. Both categorical and dimensional approaches have limitations as evidenced in this review article. Tabulation of studies that focussed on categorical and dimensional assessment of PDs might facilitate quick reading of this manuscript by readers.
