yeah. the distinction isn't part of official nosology (is that the word? official terminology) because... of the difficulty in the distinction.
it is like bizzare / non bizzare delusions.
that one isn't part of official usage either.
but clinician's (typically old school ones) persist in using the terms...
though to be fair. just because there isn't a hard and fast line to differentiate doesn't mean the distinction isn't worth it.
i mean... when does a hill become a mountain? there might well be an indeterminate bit in the middle where there is no fact of the matter but that doesn't mean the distinction is completely worthless...
