i understand the difference between the two - e.g. consistency vs accuracy, but in my evaluation of this particular essay i am struggling to identify whether it lacks validity or lack reliability:
In addition to this, Cotton et al (2009) found that female patients typically function better than males, this may explain why the occurrence of SZ is reportedly much higher in men – as woman may escape diagnosis because their better functioning skills may bias practitioners to under-diagnose SZ. This presents a major problem as men and women with similar symptoms may receive completely different diagnosis’.
^^^ is this a validity or reliability problem? thank you!
(i feel like it's validity but i want to make sure)

Validity. The diagnostic criteria are failing to accurately identify those who suffer SZ. They therefore are measuring levels of functioning rather than SZ which means they lack validity.
