The title is a link to the results of a google search. Click it for a list of linked resources. National Institute for Mental Health is a very good resource. It's a government agency with no affiliation to any particular medications manufactorers.
If you're interested in definitions and criterea, and the reason for you interest is someone under your care, the Guide to Disability Rights may be of use as well. Very likely! It's provided by the Department of Justice.
That page has a section about "IDEA", Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which has a link to "OSERS", ththe Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. The OSERS page is a resource for State and Federal agencies and has a link to the laws behind IDEA, and a link to "NCLB" which is the site for No Child Left Behind, a ED.gov (Department of Education) site which have lots of info as well.
My experience is that if you don't have this information and aren't informed about rights, laws, and agency obligations, you will run into a lot of reticence.

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....
