A '''spectrum disorder''' in [[psychiatry]] or [[clinical psychology]] is a [[mental disorder]] thought to consist of [[subtypes]], particularly when including subtypes that don't meet official cut-off criteria but which are nevertheless associated with clinically significant abnormality, distress and/or dysfunction. This classification scheme contrasts with, or is sometimes a way of extending, a [[categorical]] diagnostic system. It may involve re-assigning certain disorders as being subtypes of another over-arching spectrum disorder. It also compares to a [[continuum]] model, which sees a seamless range of problems merging in to normal variation, rather than a range of distinct subtypes.
Generally speaking, a '''trio''' or '''threesome''' is a group of three.
The widely-used [[DSM]] and [[ICD]] manuals are generally limited to categorical diagnoses, although currently recognize [[schizotypal personality]] (subtype of [[schizophrenia]]), [[dysthymia]] (subtype of [[clinical depression]]), and [[cyclothymia]] (subtype of [[bipolar disorder]]]]. A number of disorders are increasingly referred to as spectrums, notably [[Autistic Spectrum Disorder]], [[Bipolar Spectrum Disorder]], [[Clinical Depression]], [[Social Anxiety Disorder]], [[Panic Disorder]], [[Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder]], [[Posttraumatic Stress Disorder]] and [[Schizophrenia]] including [[Schizotypal Personality Disorder]].
The word is most often used in [[music]] to refer to a group of three [[musician]]s. For example, a group of three singers would be called a trio.

Another use of the word in music is to refer to the middle, contrasting section of a piece in [[ternary form]]. This usage gives rise to the "[[minuet]] and trio" (or the "[[scherzo]] and trio") which often appears as the third movement in a [[symphony]], [[sonata (music)|sonata]] or similar work.
