Google Search: disruptive behavior disorder

Clicking the title takes you to a topical google WEB search. Am I the only one that notices that the criteria for these disorders overlap significantly?

My personal observations (of myself) leads me to believe that since the manifestation of combinations of symptoms vary over time a diagnosis will too. The attitude and interests of the observers at any given clinical visit makes it all pretty much subjective.

Add in a subject's reluctance to be specific, especially about thoughts and feelings that may reflect negatively on character....
