Find the DSM-III depression criteria online?

May 13, 2011 1:15 PM

Does anybody know if there's a place online where I can find the DSM-III criteria for Major Depression? Not DSM-IV, not DSM-III-R, but the original 1980 DSM-III.

Writing something, need it fast. Library tomorrow if all else fails, but I can't believe it's not out on the web somewhere! Thanks.

Here is the full DSM-III, from what I believe is a legitimate source. It has a 1980 copyright date.

(For some odd reason, Google can easily find the DSM-I and DSM-II at the same site, but not the DSM-III. But just changing the filename worked.)

Here I was about to copy+paste from the PDF I had, turns out it's the same as the one on that site smackfu linked to. I think it's the proper DSM III you're looking for.
