Three articles in this issue detail the process and results of reliability tests for proposed DSM-5 diagnoses and cross-diagnosis symptom domains. The editorial highlights the good reliability of borderline personality disorder and relates the questionable reliability of major depressive disorder to its heterogeneity. The editorial is also available in Spanish, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
