He compares these to the same kind of list from hospital admissions in 1949. Interestingly, in 1949, 50% of patients admitted were classified as suffering from alcoholic psychosis.

Time start: 00:25:06:12 Time end: 00:30:37:17 Length: 00:05:31:05. Segment 7 Shepherd talks about how classifications help in case identification, if nothing else. He describes how new systems suggested by the World Health Organisation have altered classification processes and shows a table listing some new types of classification.

Segment 8 Shepherd talks about the US National Health Survey from the 1960s which was based on a sample of 8000 people aged between 18 and 79. He concludes his lecture by discussing how difficult it is to classify mental health illnesses and that more attention needs to be paid to people suffering within the community who have not yet been assessed by a healthcare professional.
