This category allows clinicians to provide a diagnosis when the symptoms may be atypical or varied, ensuring that individuals who experience these situations receive appropriate recognition and potential treatment. In clinical practice, this flexibility is important for tailoring treatment and support to individuals' unique experiences without excluding them from the diagnostic framework altogether.
