 ;;The severity of disability is based upon actual symptomatology,
 ;;as it affects social and industrial adaptability.  Two of the
 ;;most important determinants of disability are time lost from
 ;;gainful work and decrease in efficiency.  The rating board must
 ;;not underevaluate the emotionally sick veteran with a good work
 ;;record, nor must it overevaluate his or her condition on the
 ;;basis of a poor work record not supported by the psychiatric
 ;;disability picture.  It is for this reason that great emphasis
 ;;is placed upon the full report of the examiner, descriptive of
 ;;actual symptomatology.  The record of the history and complaints
 ;;is only preliminary to the examination.  The objective findings
 ;;and the examiner's analysis of the symptomatology are the
 ;;essentials.  The examiner's classification of the disease
 ;;as "mild", "moderate", or "severe" is not determinative of the
 ;;degree of disability, but the report and the analysis of the
 ;;symptomatology and full consideration of the history by the
 ;;rating agency will be.  In evaluating disability from psychotic
 ;;disorders it is necessary to consider, in addition to present
 ;;symptomatology or its absence, the frequency, severity and
 ;;duration of previous psychotic periods, and the veteran's
 ;;capacity for adjustment during periods of remission.  Repeated
 ;;psychotic periods, without long remissions, may be expected
 ;;to have a sustained effect upon employability until elapsed
 ;;time in good remission and with good capacity for adjustment
 ;;establishes the contrary.  Ratings are to be assigned which
 ;;represent the impairment of social and industrial adaptability
 ;;based on all evidence of record.
