    • Age-related cognitive decline: A natural decline in cognitive function due to aging, within normal limits for the individual’s age.

    Borderline Intellectual Functioning

    • Borderline intellectual functioning: A clinical concern if it impacts treatment or prognosis.
    • Differentiating borderline intellectual functioning from mild intellectual developmental disorder requires careful assessment of intellectual and adaptive functions, especially with co-occurring mental disorders that may influence test performance.

    DSM-5 Emerging Measures and Models

    • Emerging measures and models in DSM-5: Enhance clinical practice, facilitate cultural understanding of mental disorders, and promote research into potential new diagnoses.

    • DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure – Adult: Self-reported measure for adults.

    • DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure – Child: Parent/guardian-rated measure for children and child-rated measure for adolescents.

    • World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, Version 2 (WHODAS 2.0): Assesses an individual’s ability to perform activities across six domains: understanding and communicating, getting around, self-care, getting along with people, life activities, and participation in society.

    • Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders: Offers a different approach to personality disorders classification, combining dimensional and categorical elements.

    • Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI): Tool for clinical use to consider the cultural context of mental disorders.

    Dimensional Approach to Diagnosis

    • Moving away from a categorical approach

      • Limitations include:
        • Lack of clear boundaries between diagnoses
        • Need for intermediate categories (e.g., schizoaffective disorder)
        • High rates of comorbidity
        • Frequent use of “other” or “unspecified” diagnoses
        • Limited utility in identifying unique risk factors for most disorders
        • Lack of treatment specificity across diagnoses

    • Benefits of a dimensional approach

      • Allows for communication of specific variations in symptom presentation within a diagnostic category
      • Facilitates the integration of objective measures of psychopathology into diagnostic criteria based on pathophysiology, neurocircuitry, and gene-environment interactions

    Cross-Cutting Symptom Measures

    • Cross-cutting symptom measures

      • Resemble the “review of systems” approach in general medicine.
      • Assess critical psychopathological domains across age groups and diagnoses.

    • Level 1:

      • 13 domains for adults (self-rated)
      • 12 domains for children (parent/guardian-rated) and adolescents (child-rated)
      • Administered at initial interview and follow-up visits for ongoing symptom monitoring and treatment adjustments.

    • Level 2:

      • Provides more detailed assessments for specific domains.

    Severity Measures

    • Severity Measures:
      • Disorder-specific assessments.
      • Align with the criteria defining a disorder.
      • Can be administered to individuals with a diagnosis or a clinically significant syndrome, even if it does not meet all criteria for diagnosis.
      • Track symptom severity and treatment response over time.

    DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measures: Adult Self-Severity

    • Details

      • 8-item measure completed by the clinician during the clinical assessment.
      • Assesses severity of symptoms on a 5-point scale (0 = none to 4 = severe).
      • Includes symptom-specific definitions for each rating level.

    • Clinical Usefulness

      • Comprehensive tool for assessing symptom severity in psychotic disorders.
      • Includes scales for assessing cognitive impairment, depression, and mania, which may indicate co-occurring mood disorders.

    World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0)

    • Purpose

      • Assess disability in adults aged 18 years and older.

    • Details

      • 36-item measure validated across cultures.
      • Assesses disability in six domains (cognition, mobility, self-care, getting along, life activities, participation in society).
      • Self-administered version.
      • Proxy-administered version available (www.psychiatry.org/dsm5) for individuals of impaired capacity.
      • Scored on a 5-point scale (0 = none to 4 = severe).
      • Track changes in an individual’s level of functioning over time.

    WHODAS 2.0 Score System

      • Simple: Summing scores for a maximum raw score of 180, practical for busy settings.
      • Complex: Considers multiple levels of difficulty, requiring computer calculation for summary scores.

    • Domain scores: Six domain-specific scores for cognition, mobility, self-care, getting along, life activities, and participation.

    WHODAS 2.0: Clinician Use

    • Clinicians review the individual’s responses and may adjust scores based on other available information.
    • Average domain and general disability scores are calculated.
    • The WHODAS 2.0 is a valuable tool for assessing disability in clinical settings.

    WHODAS 2.0 Limitations

    • If more than 25% of the items are left unanswered, calculating simple and average general disability scores may not be meaningful.

    Summary

    • DSM-5 emerging measures and models aim to improve diagnostic accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and research on mental disorders.
    • A growing body of evidence supports a dimensional rather than categorical approach to diagnosing mental disorders.
    • Cross-cutting symptom measures, like the Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measures (adult and child versions), provide a structured way to assess key symptom domains across different diagnoses. These measures can guide clinical decisions and treatment monitoring.
    • Severity measures are disorder-specific assessments that capture the severity of symptoms aligning with diagnostic criteria, and track treatment response.
    • The WHODAS 2.0 is a comprehensive tool to assess disability in adults, providing valuable insights into an individual’s ability to perform activities in different life domains.

    Cultural Aspects of Diagnosis

    • Cultural Context: Incorporating cultural and social context is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Culture encompasses knowledge, values, beliefs, and practices passed down through generations. This includes language, religion, family structures, health beliefs, and social systems.
    • Cultural Influences on Illness: All forms of illness, including mental health disorders, are shaped by cultural contexts. The individual's cultural background influences how they experience and interpret illness.

    Race, Ethnicity, and Mental Health

    • Race as a Social Construct: Race is not a biological category but a social construct based on superficial physical traits, used to justify systems of oppression.
    • Racism and Mental Health: Racism has demonstrably negative effects on mental health, exacerbating existing conditions and influencing diagnostic assessment.
    • Ethnicity as a Group Identity: Ethnicity is a culturally constructed identity based on shared history, ancestry, language, religion, or other characteristics.
    • Impact of Identities: Cultural, racial, and ethnic identities can provide strength and support but also lead to conflict or difficulty in adapting, requiring culturally informed diagnosis and assessment..

    The Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI)

    • Importance: The CFI is a tool for assessing the impact of culture on an individual's clinical presentation and care. It focuses on the person's experience and the social contexts of their difficulties.
    • Purpose: The CFI facilitates culturally valid diagnoses, aids in treatment planning, and promotes patient engagement and satisfaction.
    • Domains: The CFI emphasizes four key domains:
      • Problem Definition: How the person defines their situation.
      • Perceived Causes: Reasons for the problem, including personal, social, and spiritual factors.
      • Context and Support: Social environment, resources, stressors, and sources of support.
      • Help-Seeking Patterns: Past and current efforts to manage the issue, including traditional and alternative sources of care.

    Cultural Concepts of Distress

    • Significance: Cultural concepts of distress, including cultural idioms of distress, cultural explanations, and cultural syndromes, can provide insights into the ways individuals experience and understand mental health problems.
    • Cultural Idioms of Distress: Culturally specific ways of expressing distress, often shared by individuals in a community.
    • Cultural Explanations: Culturally-informed interpretations of the causes of symptoms or distress.
    • Cultural Syndromes: Clusters of symptoms and attributions that are recognized as coherent patterns of experience within specific cultural groups.

    Examples of Cultural Concepts of Distress

    • Ataque de Nervios: A cultural syndrome prevalent in U.S. Latinx communities that involves intense emotional upset, physical symptoms (e.g., trembling, loss of control), and potential dissociative experiences. Attacks are often precipitated by stressful events related to family or relationships.
    • Cultural Variations in Diagnosis: The CFI helps clinicians understand cultural variations in symptom presentation, coping strategies, and help-seeking behaviors, contributing to more accurate and culturally sensitive diagnoses.

    Ataque

    • No one-to-one relationship has been found between ataque and any specific psychiatric disorder
    • Several disorders, including panic disorder, other specified or unspecified dissociative disorder, and functional neurological symptom disorder (conversion disorder), have symptomatic overlap with ataque.
    • In community samples, ataque is reported among U.S.Latinx by 7%–15% of adults and 4%–9% of youth, depending on region and Latinx subgroup.
    • It is associated with suicidal thoughts, disability, and outpatient psychiatric utilization, after adjustment for psychiatric diagnoses, traumatic exposure, and other covariates.

    Dhat Syndrome

    • Dhat syndrome, coined in South Asia over half a century ago, is a term used to account for common clinical presentations of young men who attributed their various symptoms to semen loss.
    • It is not a discrete syndrome but rather a cultural explanation of distress for individuals who refer to diverse symptoms, such as anxiety, fatigue, weakness, weight loss, erectile dysfunction, other multiple somatic complaints, and depressed mood.
    • Research in health care settings has yielded diverse estimates of the prevalence of dhat syndrome, with 64% of men attending psychiatric clinics in India for sexual complaints and 30% of men attending general medical clinics in Pakistan.

    Hikikomori

    • Hikikomori is a syndrome of protracted and severe social withdrawal observed in Japan, characterized by an adolescent or young adult male who does not leave his room within his parents' home and has no in-person social interactions.
    • This behavior may initially be ego-syntonic but usually leads to distress over time and is often associated with high intensity of Internet use and virtual social exchanges.
    • Other features include no interest or willingness to attend school or work.
    • The 2010 guideline of the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare requires 6 months of social withdrawal for a diagnosis of hikikomori.
    • Protracted social withdrawal among adolescents and young adults has been reported in many settings, including Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, France, India, Iran, Italy, Oman, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States.
    • Individuals with hikikomori-type behaviors tend to display high levels of loneliness, limited social networks, and moderate functional impairment.

    Khyâl Cap

    • Khyâl cap, also known as "wind attacks," is a syndrome found in Cambodian cultural contexts.
    • Common symptoms include panic attacks, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, and cold extremities, as well as other symptoms of anxiety and autonomic arousal.
    • Khyâl attacks may occur without warning but are frequently brought about by triggers such as worrisome thoughts, standing up (i.e., orthostasis), specific odors with negative associations, and agoraphobic-type cues like going to crowded spaces or riding in a car.

    Kufungisisa

    • Kufungisisa, or "thinking too much" in Shona, is an idiom of distress and a cultural explanation among the Shona of Zimbabwe.
    • It is considered to be causative of anxiety, depression, and somatic problems and is indicative of interpersonal and social difficulties.
    • Cross-culturally, "thinking too much" typically references ruminative, intrusive, and/or anxious thoughts, sometimes focused on a singular concern or past trauma, and other times based on numerous current worries.
    • In some contexts, it is thought to lead to more severe disorders-like psychosis, suicidal thoughts, or even death.

    Maladi Dyab

    • Maladi dyab, also known as maladi satan, is a cultural explanation in Haitian communities for various medical and psychiatric disorders.
    • This explanation assumes that illness may be caused by interpersonal envy and malice, provoked by the victim's economic success.
    • The label of "sent sickness" depends more on mode of onset, social status, and form of treatment than on presenting symptoms.
    • A wide range of psychiatric disorders can be attributed to this cultural explanation.

    Nervios

    • Nervios, another cultural idiom of distress, refers to a general state of vulnerability to stressful life experiences and difficult life circumstances.
    • It includes a wide range of symptoms of emotional distress, somatic disturbance, and inability to function.
    • Common symptoms attributed to nervios include headaches, brain aches, irritability, gastrointestinal disturbances, sleep difficulties, nervousness, easy tearfulness, inability to concentrate, trembling, tingling sensations, and mareos (dizziness with occasional vertigo-like exacerbations).
    • Nervios can also refer to a cultural explanation for multiple forms of psychological distress, especially those involving weakness, enervation, and anxiety.
    • In Puerto Rican communities, nervios includes conditions such as "being nervous since childhood," which appears to be more of a trait and may precede social anxiety disorder, and "being ill with nerves," which is more related than other forms of nervios to psychiatric problems, especially dissociation and depression.

    Shenjing Shuairuo

    • Shenjing shuairuo, a cultural syndrome that integrates conceptual categories of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the Western construct of neurasthenia, is a syndrome composed of three out of five symptom clusters: weakness (e.g., mental fatigue), emotions (e.g., feeling vexed), excitement (e.g., increased recollections), nervous pain (e.g., headache), and sleep (e.g., insomnia).
    • Fan nao (feeling vexed) is a form of irritability mixed with worry and distress over conflicting thoughts and unfulfilled desires.
    • The use of shenjing shuairuo has decreased substantially in recent years and appears to have been replaced by idioms of depression and anxiety, at least in urban areas.
    • Salient precipitants of shenjing shuairuo include work or family-related stressors, loss of face (mianzi, lianzi), and an acute sense of failure (e.g., in academic performance).
    • Shenjing shuairuo results when bodily channels conveying vital forces become dysregulated as a result of various social and interpersonal stressors, such as the inability to change a chronically frustrating and distressing situation.

    Neurasthenia

    • Neurasthenia-spectrum idioms and syndromes are present in many cultural contexts, including India (ashaktapanna), Mongolia (yadargaa), and Japan (shinkei-suijaku).
    • Other conditions, such as brain fag syndrome, burnout syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome, are also closely related.

    Susto

    • Susto, or "fright," is a cultural explanation for distress and misfortune prevalent in Latinx cultural contexts in North, Central, and South America.
    • It is an illness attributed to a frightening event that causes the soul to leave the body, leading to unhappiness, sickness, and difficulties functioning in key social roles.
    • Symptoms may appear any time from days to years after the fear is experienced, and in extreme cases, susto may result in death.
    • Three syndromic types of susto have been identified, each having different relationships with psychiatric diagnoses.
    • An interpersonal susto characterized by feelings of loss, abandonment, and not being loved by family, with accompanying symptoms of sadness, poor self-image, and suicidal thoughts, seems to be closely related to major depressive disorder.
    • When susto results from a traumatic event that plays a major role in shaping symptoms and emotional processing of the experience, the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder appears more appropriate.
    • Susto characterized by various recurrent somatic symptoms, for which the individual seeks health care from several practitioners, is thought to resemble a somatic symptom disorder.
    • Similar etiological concepts and symptom configurations are found globally, including susto in the Andean region and soul loss conditions in South Asia and Southeast Asia.

    Taijin Kyofusho

    • Taijin kyofusho, or "interpersonal fear disorder" in Japanese, is a syndrome found in Japanese cultural contexts characterized by anxiety about and avoidance of interpersonal situations due to the thought, feeling, or conviction that the individual's appearance and actions in social interactions are inadequate or offensive to others.
    • Taijin kyofusho includes two culture-related forms: a "sensitive type," with extreme social sensitivity and anxiety about interpersonal interactions, and an "offensive type," in which the major concern is offending others.
    • The distinctive symptoms of taijin kyofusho occur in specific cultural contexts and, to some extent, with more severe social anxiety cross-culturally.
    • Similar syndromes are found in Korea and other societies that place a strong emphasis on the self-conscious maintenance of appropriate social behavior in hierarchical interpersonal relationships.

    Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders

    • The Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders is a hybrid dimensional-categorical model that defines personality disorders in terms of impairments in personality functioning and pathological personality traits.
    • This approach aims to address several shortcomings of the current approach, such as the fact that symptoms meeting criteria for a specific personality disorder often also meet criteria for other personality disorders.
    • The model includes a diagnosis of personality disorder—trait specified (PD-TS) that can be made when a personality disorder is considered present but the criteria for a specific disorder are not met.
    • The general criteria for a personality disorder include moderate or greater impairment in personality (self/interpersonal) functioning, one or more pathological personality traits, relatively inflexible and pervasive impairments in personality functioning and the individual's personality trait expression, relatively stable impairments across time, not better explained by another mental disorder, not solely attributable to physiological effects of a substance or another medical condition, and not better understood as normal for an individual's developmental stage or sociocultural environment.
    • A diagnosis of a personality disorder requires two determinations: 1) an assessment of the level of impairment in personality functioning, which is needed for Criterion A, and 2) an evaluation of pathological personality traits, which is required for Criterion B.
    • All Section III personality disorders described by criteria sets, as well as PD-TS, meet these general criteria, by definition.
    • Disturbances in self and interpersonal functioning constitute the core of personality psychopathology, and in this alternative diagnostic model, they are evaluated on a continuum.
    • The Level of Personality Functioning Scale (LPFS) uses each of these elements to differentiate five levels of impairment, ranging from little or no impairment (i.e., healthy, adaptive functioning; Level 0) to some (Level 1), moderate (Level 2), severe (Level 3), and extreme (Level 4).
    • Pathological personality traits are organized into five broad domains: Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Antagonism, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism.
    • Within these domains are 25 specific trait facets developed initially from a review of existing trait models and subsequently through iterative research with samples of persons who sought mental health services.
    • The B criteria for the specific personality disorders comprise subsets of the 25 trait facets, based on meta-analytic reviews and empirical data on the relationships of the traits to DSM-IV personality disorder diagnoses.

    General Criteria for Personality Disorder

    • The General Criteria for Personality Disorder (PD-TS) outline the criteria for personality disorders, which are defined as impairments in personality functioning and pathological personality traits.
    • These disorders are maladaptive and relatively inflexible, leading to disabilities in social, occupational, or other important pursuits.
    • However, the impairments in functioning and personality traits are also relatively stable.
    • Personality traits—the dispositions to behave or feel in certain ways—are more stable than the symptomatic expressions of these dispositions, but personality traits can also change.
    • Impaired personality functioning is more stable than symptoms.

    Section III Personality Disorders

    • Section III includes diagnostic criteria for antisocial, avoidant, borderline, narcissistic, obsessive-compulsive, and schizotypal personality disorders.
    • Each disorder is defined by typical impairments in personality functioning (Criterion A) and characteristic pathological personality traits (Criterion B).

    Antisocial Personality Disorder

    • Typical features of antisocial personality disorder include a failure to conform to lawful and ethical behavior, an egocentric, callous lack of concern for others, accompanied by deceitfulness, irresponsibility, manipulativeness, and/or risk-taking.

    Avoidant Personality Disorder

    • Typical features of avoidant personality disorder are avoidance of social situations and inhibition in interpersonal relationships related to feelings of ineptitude and inadequacy, anxious preoccupation with negative evaluation and rejection, and fears of ridicule or embarrassment.

    Borderline Personality Disorder

    • Typical features of borderline personality disorder are instability of self-image, personal goals, interpersonal relationships, and affects, accompanied by impulsivity, risk-taking, and/or hostility.

    Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    • Typical features of narcissistic personality disorder are variable and vulnerable self-esteem, with attempts at regulation through attention and approval seeking, and either overt or covert grandiosity.

    Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder

    • Typical features of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are difficulties in establishing and sustaining close relationships, associated with rigid perfectionism, inflexibility, and restricted emotional expression.

    Schizotypal Personality Disorder

    • Typical features of schizotypal personality disorder are impairments in the capacity for social and close relationships, and eccentricities in cognition, perception, and behavior that are associated with distorted self-image and incoherent personal goals and accompanied by suspiciousness and restricted emotional expression.

    ### Antagonism

    • Antagonism is characterized by the use of subterfuge, callousness, deceitfulness, hostility, risk-taking, impulseivity, and irresponsibility.
    • It is important to note that the individual must be at least 18 years old.

    Psychopathy

    • A distinct variant, known as psychopathy, is marked by a lack of anxiety or fear and a bold interpersonal style that may mask maladaptive behaviors.
    • This psychopathic variant is characterized by low levels of anxiousness (Negative Affectivity domain) and withdrawal (Detachment domain) and high levels of attention seeking (Antagonism domain).
    • High attention seeking and low withdrawal capture the social potency (assertive/dominant) component of psychopathy, while low anxiousness captures the stress immunity (emotional stability/resilience) component.

    ### Trait and Personality Functioning Specifiers

    • In addition to psychopathic features, trait and personality functioning specifiers can be used to record other personality features that may be present in antisocial personality disorder but are not required for the diagnosis.
    • For example, traits of Negative Affectivity (e.g., anxiousness) are not diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder (Criterion B), but can be specified when appropriate.
    • Furthermore, although moderate or greater impairment in personality functioning is required for the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder (Criterion A), the level of personality functioning can also be specified.

    Avoidant Personality Disorder

    • Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by avoidance of social situations and inhibition in interpersonal relationships related to feelings of ineptitude and inadequacy, anxious preoccupation with negative evaluation and rejection, and fears of ridicule or embarrassment.
    • Characteristic difficulties are apparent in identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy, along with specific maladaptive traits in the domains of Negative Affectivity and Detachment.
    • The proposed diagnostic criteria include moderate or greater impairment in personality functioning manifested by characteristic difficulties in two or more of the following four areas: identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy.
    • Anxiousness is an aspect of Negative Affectivity, characterized by intense feelings of nervousness, tenseness, or panic, worry about the negative effects of past unpleasant experiences and future negative possibilities, fear of embarrassment, withdrawal, anhedonia, and intimacy avoidance.
    • Additional personality traits are considered heterogeneous among individuals diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder.
    • Trait and level of personality functioning specifiers can be used to record additional personality features that may be present in avoidant personality disorder.

    Borderline Personality Disorder

    • Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by instability of self-image, personal goals, interpersonal relationships, and affects, often associated with excessive self-criticism, chronic feelings of emptiness, and dissociative states under stress.
    • It is diagnosed using diagnostic criteria that include moderate or greater impairment in personality functioning, manifested by characteristic difficulties in two or more of the following four areas: identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy.

    Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    • Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by variable and vulnerable self-esteem, with attempts at regulation through attention and approval seeking, and either overt or covert grandiosity.
    • Characteristic difficulties are apparent in identity, self-direction, empathy, and/or intimacy, along with specific maladaptive traits in the domain of Negative Affectivity, Antagonism, and/or Disinhibition.
    • Trait and level of personality functioning specifiers may be used to record additional personality features that may be present in borderline personality disorder but are not required for the diagnosis.
    • For example, traits of Psychoticism (e.g., cognitive and perceptual dysregulation) are not diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder (see Criterion B), but can be specified when appropriate.
    • Furthermore, although moderate or greater impairment in personality functioning is required for the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (Criterion A), the level of personality functioning can also be specified.

    Summary

    • Borderline and narcissistic personality disorders have distinct features, including instability of self-image, personal goals, interpersonal relationships, and affects, as well as specific maladaptive traits in the domain of Negative Affectivity, Antagonism, and/or Disinhibition.
    • Diagnostic criteria for borderline and narcissistic personality disorders include moderate or greater impairment in personality functioning, as well as specific maladaptive traits in the domain of Antagonism and/or Disinhibition.
    • These diagnoses can be based on the use of trait and level of personality functioning specifiers, which can help identify the most significant personality traits and their impact on the individual's overall well-being.

    Personality Disorders

    • Borderline and narcissistic personality disorders have common characteristics, such as instability in self-image, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy.
    • Individuals with borderline and narcissistic personality disorders commonly exhibit maladaptive traits in the domains of Negative Affectivity and Antagonism.
    • Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder also shares similarities with the previously mentioned disorders, featuring difficulties in forming and maintaining close relationships.
    • Individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder often display rigid perfectionism, inflexibility, and restricted emotional expression.
    • They have characteristic difficulties in identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy, with maladaptive traits in Negative Affectivity and/or Detachment.
    • Schizotypal personality disorder is characterized by impairments in social and close relationships accompanied by eccentricities in cognition, perception, and behavior, leading to a distorted self-image and incoherent personal goals.
    • Individuals with schizotypal personality disorder face difficulties in identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy and exhibit maladaptive traits in the domains of Psychoticism and Detachment.
    • Schizotypal personality disorder also presents with symptoms such as cognitive and perceptual dysregulation, unusual beliefs and experiences, eccentricity, restricted affectivity, withdrawal, and suspicion.
    • Personality disorder—trait specified (PD-TS) requires moderate or greater impairment in personality functioning, manifested by difficulties in two or more of the following four areas: identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy.

    Personality Trait Domains

    • The DSM-5 defines five broad domains of personality trait variation:
      • Negative Affectivity (vs.Emotional Stability): Frequent and intense experience of negative emotions.
      • Detachment (vs.Extraversion): Avoidance of socioemotional experience, including withdrawal from interpersonal interactions.
      • Antagonism (vs.Agreeableness): Behaviors that put the individual at odds with other people, including an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
      • Disinhibition (vs.Conscientiousness): Orientation toward immediate gratification, leading to impulsive behavior.
      • Psychoticism (vs.Lucidity): Exhibiting a wide range of culturally incongruent odd, eccentric, or unusual behaviors and cognitions.

    Personality Functioning Scale

    • The Personality Functioning Scale assesses the level of impairment in an individual's identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy.
    • There are three levels of impairment:
      • Little Impairment: ongoing awareness of a unique self, maintaining role-appropriate boundaries, consistent positive self-esteem, accurate self-appraisal, and ability to experience, tolerate, and regulate a full range of emotions.
      • Moderate Impairment: a relatively intact sense of self, with some decrease in clarity of boundaries when strong emotions and mental distress are experienced.
      • Severe Impairment: a weak sense of autonomy/agency, experience of a lack of identity, or emptiness.

    Personality Trait Assessment

    • Personality traits exist on a spectrum, meaning personality traits apply to everyone in different degrees rather than being present versus absent.
    • The Section III personality trait system includes five broad domains of personality trait variation comprising 25 specific personality trait facets.
    • The clinical utility of the Section III multidimensional personality trait model lies in its ability to focus attention on multiple relevant areas of personality variation in each individual patient.
    • The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) can be used to measure specific facets and domains of personality.

    Diagnosis of Personality Disorders

    • Individuals who have a pattern of impairment in personality functioning and maladaptive traits that matches one of the six defined personality disorders should be diagnosed with that personality disorder.
    • If an individual also has one or several prominent traits that may have clinical relevance in addition to those required for the diagnosis, the option exists for these to be noted as specifiers.
    • Individuals whose personality functioning or trait pattern is substantially different from that of any of the six specific personality disorders should be diagnosed with PD-TS.
    • The specific level of impairment in personality functioning and the pathological personality traits that characterize the individual's personality can be specified for PD-TS.
    • Current diagnoses of paranoid, schizoid, histrionic, and dependent personality disorders are represented also by the diagnosis of PD-TS.

    Disinhibition

    • Disinhibition is a tendency toward immediate gratification, leading to impulsive behavior driven by current thoughts, feelings, and external stimuli without consideration of past learning or future consequences.

    Irresponsibility

    • Irresponsibility involves ignoring financial obligations or commitments, disregarding agreements and promises, and neglecting others' property.

    Impulsivity and Distractionibility

    • Impulsivity involves acting on the spur of the moment in response to immediate stimuli.
    • Distractionibility makes it challenging to concentrate and focus on tasks.

    Risk-Taking and Rigid Perfectionism

    • Risk-taking involves engaging in dangerous, risky, and potentially self-damaging activities without considering consequences.
    • Rigid perfectionism is an inflexible insistence on everything being flawless, perfect, and without errors or faults.

    Psychotics

    • Psychotics involve culturally incongruent odd, eccentric, or unusual behaviors and cognitions, including unusual beliefs and experiences, eccentricity, and cognitive and perceptual dysregulation.

    Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome

    • Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome is a condition proposed for further study, exhibiting symptoms like attenuated delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech, present at least once per week for the past month, with noticeable worsening in the past year.
    • Attenuated psychosis symptoms are psychosis-like but below the threshold to be considered a psychotic disorder, less severe, more transient, and the individual maintains reasonable insight into the psychotic-like experiences.
    • A diagnosis of attenuated psychosis syndrome requires state psychopathology associated with functional impairment, with changes in experiences and behaviors noted by the individual or others, suggesting a clinically significant change in mental state.
    • Neuroimaging variables distinguish cohorts with attenuated psychosis syndrome from normal control cohorts, exhibiting patterns similar to, but less severe than, schizophrenia.
    • The prevalence of attenuated psychosis syndrome is very little information available, but in Switzerland, the prevalence of attenuated psychosis syndrome in nonhelp-seeking individuals aged 16-40 years was found to be only 0.3%.
    • Attenuated psychosis syndrome typically develops in mid-to-late adolescence or early adulthood, and may be preceded by normal development or evidence for impaired cognition, negative symptoms, or impaired social development.
    • In help-seeking cohorts, those whose presentations met criteria for attenuated psychosis syndrome had an increased probability of developing psychosis compared with those whose presentations did not meet the criteria.
    • Factors predicting progression to a full psychotic disorder (most frequently schizophrenia spectrum disorder) include male sex, lifetime stress/trauma, unemployment, living alone, severity of attenuated positive psychotic symptoms, severity of negative symptoms, disorganized and cognitive symptoms, and poor functioning.
    • Eleven percent of those attenuated psychosis syndrome cases that progress to full psychosis develop affective psychosis (depressive or bipolar disorder with psychotic features), whereas 73% of attenuated psychosis syndrome cases that progress to full psychosis develop a schizophrenia spectrum disorder.
    • Although the highest risk for transition to psychosis is within the first 2 years, individuals continue to be at risk for up to 10 years after initial referral, with an overall risk of transition of 34.9% over a 10-year period.
    • Factors predicting prognosis of attenuated psychosis syndrome have not been definitively characterized.
    • Structural, functional, electrophysiological, and neurochemical imaging data are associated with increased risk of transition to psychosis, but these predictors have not yet been validated for clinical use.
    • Assessing the presence of attenuated symptoms requires considering the impact of sociocultural context.
    • Some perceptual experiences and religious or supernatural beliefs may be considered odd in some cultural contexts and accepted in others.
    • Populations that experience trauma or persecution may report symptoms and fears that may be misjudged as attenuated or frank paranoid delusions due to the impact of trauma on the individual’s mood and communication.
    • The distress and impairment criterion helps to distinguish socioculturally normative experiences from symptoms of attenuated psychosis syndrome.

    Functional Impairment

    • Many individuals may experience functional impairments at presentation, with moderate-to-moderate impairment in social and role functioning may persist even with abatement of symptoms.

    Differential Diagnosis and Comorbidities

    • Differential diagnosis is necessary when reality distortions are not associated with distress and functional impairment and need for care.
    • Attenuated delusions and attenuated hallucinations can occur in the context of intoxication with cannabis, hallucinogens, phencyclidine, inhalants, and stimulants, or during withdrawal from alcohol and sedatives, hypnotics, or anxiolytics.
    • A history of attentional impairment does not exclude a current attenuated psychosis syndrome diagnosis.
    • Most individuals with attenuated psychosis syndrome experience some comorbid mental disorder, mostly depression (41%) and/or anxiety (15%).
    • A little more than half of individuals have at least one comorbid disorder at follow-up, most of which were present when the individual was first assessed.
    • The persistence of comorbid disorders at follow-up is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes.

    Depressive Episodes

    • The proposed criteria for defining depressive episodes include five or more of the following: depressed mood most of the day, diminished interest or pleasure in all activities most of the day, significant weight loss when not dieting or weight gain, insomnia or hypersomnia nearly every day, psychomotor agitation or retardation nearly every day, fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day, feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt (which may be delusional) nearly every day, diminished ability to think or concentrate, or indecisiveness, nearly every day, and recurrent thoughts of death (not just fear of dying), recurrent suicidal ideation without a specific plan, or a suicide attempt or a specific plan for committing suicide.

    Short-Duration Hypomania

    • At least two lifetime episodes of hypomanic periods that involve the required criterion symptoms below but are of insufficient duration (at least 2 days but less than 4 consecutive days) to meet criteria for a hypomanic episode.
    • The criterion symptoms are as follows: a distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood and abnormally and persistently increased activity or energy; during the period of mood disturbance and increased energy and activity, three or more of the following symptoms have persisted (four if the mood is only irritable), represent a noticeable change from usual behavior, and have been present to a significant degree: inflated self-esteem or grandiosity; decreased need for sleep (e.g., feels rested after only 3 hours of sleep); more talkative than usual or pressured to keep talking; flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing; distractibility (i.e., attention too easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant external stimuli), as reported or observed; increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work or school, or sexually) or psychomotor agitation; excessive involvement in activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g., the individual engages in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments).
    • Individuals with short-duration hypomania and a major depressive episode, with their increased psychiatric comorbidity, greater family history of bipolar disorder, earlier onset, more recurrent major depressive episodes, and higher rate of suicide attempts, more closely resemble individuals with bipolar disorder than those with major depressive disorder.
    • The prevalence of depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania is unclear, as epidemiological studies have yet to be published using the DSM-5 definition.
    • Major depressive disorder with subthreshold hypomania occurs in up to 6.7% of the U.S.population, making it more common than bipolar I or II disorder.
    • In clinical settings studied across diverse countries, depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania is about one-fourth as common as depressive episodes with full-duration hypomania.
    • Depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania may be more common in women, who may present with more features of atypical depression.
    • Risk and prognostic factors include a family history of bipolar disorder being three to four times more common among individuals with depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania than among those with major depressive disorder, whereas family history of bipolar disorder is similar among individuals with depressive episodes and short- versus full-duration hypomania.

    Bipolar Disorder

    • Bipolar II disorder is characterized by major depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, while depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania are characterized by depressive episodes with periods of 2-3 days of hypomanic symptoms.
    • The diagnosis changes to and remains bipolar II disorder once an individual has experienced a full-blown hypomanic episode lasting 4 days or more in addition to lifetime major depressive episodes.
    • Major depressive disorder is also characterized by at least one lifetime major depressive episode, but the additional presence of at least two lifetime periods of 2-3 days of hypomanic symptoms leads to a diagnosis of depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania rather than major depressive disorder.
    • Both major depressive disorder with mixed features and depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania are characterized by the presence of some hypomanic symptoms and a major depressive episode.
    • Major depressive disorder with mixed features is characterized by hypomanic features that manifest concurrently with a major depressive episode, whereas individuals with depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania experience subsyndromal hypomania and fully syndromal major depression at different times.
    • Bipolar I disorder is differentiated from depressive episodes with short-duration hypomania by at least one lifetime manic episode, which is longer and more severe than a hypomanic episode.
    • An episode (of any duration) that involves psychotic symptoms or necessitates hospitalization is by definition a manic episode rather than a hypomanic one.

    Caffeine Use Disorder

    • Caffeine use disorder is a problematic pattern of caffeine use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by at least the first three criteria occurring within a 12-month period: persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control caffeine use, continued caffeine use despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by caffeine, withdrawal, tolerance, time spent in activities necessary to obtain caffeine, use caffeine, or recover from its effects, and craving or a strong desire or urge to use caffeine.
    • Caffeine use disorder is a condition characterized by the continued use of caffeine and failure to control it despite negative physical and/or psychological consequences.
    • In two U.S.population surveys, 14%-17% of caffeine users endorsed caffeine use despite physical or psychological problems, 34%-45% reported a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to control caffeine use, and 18%-27% reported withdrawal or using caffeine to relieve or avoid withdrawal.
    • Medical and psychological problems attributed to caffeine include heart, stomach, and urinary problems, and complaints of anxiety, depression, insomnia, irritability, and difficulty thinking.
    • A study of 2,259 Hungarian caffeine consumers found that caffeine use disorder is a unitary construct, with withdrawal being the most commonly endorsed criteria.
    • In two Baltimore-area caffeine treatment studies, the most commonly endorsed criteria were withdrawal (97%), persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to control use (91%-94%), and use despite knowledge of physical or psychological problems caused by caffeine (75%-91%).
    • Among individuals seeking treatment for problematic caffeine use, 88% reported having made prior serious attempts to modify caffeine use, and 43%-47% reported having been advised by a medical professional to reduce or eliminate caffeine.
    • Common reported reasons for modifying caffeine use were health-related (59%) and a desire to not be dependent on caffeine (35%).
    • The prevalence of caffeine use disorder in the general population is unclear, but a population-based study in Vermont reported that 9% of individuals endorsed the three proposed DSM-5 caffeine use disorder criteria plus tolerance.
    • A diagnosis of caffeine use disorder has been shown to prospectively predict a greater incidence of caffeine reinforcement and more severe withdrawal.
    • Caffeine use disorder has been identified in both adolescents and adults, with rates of caffeine consumption and overall level of caffeine consumption tending to increase with age.
    • Risk and prognostic factors for caffeine use disorder range from 35% to 77%, with 28%-41% of heritable effects of caffeine use (or heavy use) shared with alcohol and smoking.
    • The type of caffeinated beverage preferred and the mode of preparation must be considered when assessing the quantity of caffeine ingested.

    Internet Gaming Disorder

    • Internet gaming disorder is a condition that involves the persistent and recurrent use of the internet to engage in games, often with other players, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress.
    • This disorder is distinct from Internet gambling, which is included under gambling disorder.
    • The criteria for caffeine use disorder include preoccupation with internet games, withdrawal symptoms when gaming is taken away, tolerance, unsuccessful attempts to control participation in internet games, loss of interests in previous hobbies and entertainment, continued excessive use of internet games despite knowledge of psychosocial problems, deceiving family members, therapists, or others regarding the amount of internet gaming, use of internet games to escape or relieve a negative mood, and having jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of participation in internet games.
    • The distinction between nonproblematic use of caffeine and caffeine use disorder can be difficult to make due to social, behavioral, or psychological problems that may be difficult to attribute to the substance.
    • Problems related to the use of other stimulant medications or substances may approximate the features of caffeine use disorder.
    • Comorbidities associated with caffeine use disorder include daily cigarette smoking, cannabis use disorder, and a family or personal history of alcohol use disorder.
    • Rates of caffeine use disorder are higher among those seeking treatment for problematic caffeine use, individuals who use tobacco, high school and college students, and those with histories of alcohol or illicit drug misuse.
    • Internet gaming disorder is a condition that involves the persistent and recurrent use of the internet to engage in games, often with other players, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress.
    • Internet gaming disorder can be mild, moderate, or severe depending on the degree of disruption of normal activities.
    • Individuals with less severe Internet gaming disorder may exhibit fewer symptoms and less disruption of their lives.
    • Severe Internet gaming disorder will have more hours spent on the computer and more severe loss of relationships or career or school opportunities.
    • Gambling disorder is currently the only non-substance-related disorder included in the DSM-5 Section II chapter “Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders.”
    • The DSM-5 work studied behavioral similarities between Internet gaming and gambling disorder and substance use disorders, finding similarities such as tolerance, withdrawal, repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or quit, and impairment in normal functioning.

    Future Directions for Internet Gaming Disorder

    • Internet gaming disorder has achieved significant public health importance, and additional research may eventually lead to evidence that Internet gaming disorder (also referred to as Internet use disorder, Internet addiction, or gaming addiction) has merit as an independent disorder.
    • Epidemiological studies should be conducted to determine the prevalence, clinical course, possible genetic influence, and potential biological factors based on brain imaging data.

    Internet Gaming Disorder

    • Characterized by excessive gaming with loss of control, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms
    • Games often involve global competition, encouraging extended play
    • Individuals with Internet gaming disorder neglect other activities, spending 8-10 hours or more per day and 30 hours or more per week gaming
    • They become agitated and angry when prevented from gaming
    • Neglect normal responsibilities like school, work, or family obligations
    • Diagnosis requires endorsement of five or more out of nine criteria
    • Can lead to functional consequences like school failure, job loss, or marital problems
    • Comorbidities may include major depressive disorder, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder
    • Excessive gambling online may be diagnosed separately as gambling disorder

    Neurobehavioral Disorder Associated with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (ND-PAE)

    • Encompasses developmental disabilities related to prenatal alcohol exposure
    • Can be diagnosed with or without physical effects of prenatal alcohol exposure
    • Essential features include impairment in neurocognitive, behavioral, and adaptive functioning

    • A fetal alcohol syndrome diagnosis can be used as evidence of significant prenatal alcohol exposure
    • More than minimal exposure, defined as greater than 13 drinks per month or more than 2 drinks on any one occasion, may significantly impact neurodevelopment
    • Symptoms include impaired IQ, executive functioning, learning, memory, and visual-spatial reasoning
    • Impairments in self-regulation, including mood or behavior regulation, attention deficit, and impulse control are also present
    • Adaptive functioning impairments include communication deficits and social communication problems
    • Diagnosis is typically deferred in children under 3 years old
    • Prevalence in the US is estimated at 15.2 per 1,000, with higher rates in vulnerable populations
    • Mean global prevalence is 7.7 per 1,000
    • Development and course of CNS dysfunction varies based on developmental stage
    • About half of prenatally exposed children show developmental delay in the first 3 years
    • Learning difficulties, executive function impairment, and social skills deficits usually emerge more clearly in school age
    • Risk factors include low socioeconomic status and low educational level of the mother
    • Socioeconomic and cultural factors impact alcohol consumption during pregnancy
    • Individuals with certain alcohol metabolizing enzyme alleles may be less likely to exhibit effects of prenatal alcohol exposure
    • Suicide is a high-risk outcome, especially in late adolescence and early adulthood
    • Individuals with ND-PAE and impaired affect regulation have a higher risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors
    • Maternal suicides are significantly more common in mothers of children with ND-PAE
    • Differential diagnosis includes exposure to other substances, poor prenatal care, postnatal substance use, other medical conditions, and environmental neglect
    • Genetic conditions like Williams syndrome and Down syndrome may have similar features
    • Mental health problems are identified in over 90% of individuals with ND-PAE
    • The most common co-occurring disorder is attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
    • High-probability co-occurring disorders include oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder
    • Mood symptoms, including bipolar and depressive disorders, have also been described
    • Suicide attempts can have varied medical consequences, influenced by planning, knowledge of lethality, intentionality, and chance intervention

    Suicidal Behavior Disorder

    • Defined by a suicide attempt within the last 24 months, excluding non-suicidal self-injury
    • Does not apply to suicidal ideation or preparatory acts
    • The attempt must not be initiated during delirium, confusion, or for political or religious objectives
    • Can be in early remission if it occurred 12-24 months prior to evaluation
    • Diagnostic features include a suicide attempt that can lead to injury or serious medical consequences
    • Factors influencing medical consequences include poor planning, lack of knowledge of lethality, low intentionality, and chance intervention
    • The individual must have made at least one attempt, even if they changed their mind or someone intervened
    • There are no clinical instruments with sufficient predictive value for suicidal behavior at the individual level
    • Suicidal behavior results from a convergence of risk factors, with multiple pathways
    • It can occur at any time in life, but is uncommon in children under 5
    • Approximately 25%-30% of those who attempt suicide will make further attempts
    • Significant variability exists in the frequency, method, and lethality of attempts
    • Genetic risk for depression increases the risk for suicide attempt across various diagnostic cohorts, suggesting genetic associations shared and unique to suicide attempts
    • Cultural contexts affect the frequency and form of suicidal behavior
    • Sex-and gender-related issues also affect suicidal behavior, with men more likely to die by suicide but women more likely to attempt suicide
    • Diagnostic markers include laboratory abnormalities resulting from the attempt, such as blood loss, anemia, and hypotension
    • Can occur in various mental disorders, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and personality disorders

    Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Disorder

    • Characterized by repeated self-inflicted minor-to-moderate injuries without suicidal intent
    • The primary purpose is to reduce negative emotions, resolve interpersonal difficulties, or induce positive feelings
    • The individual experiences relief during or shortly after the injury
    • It may be associated with interpersonal difficulties, preoccupation with the behavior, frequent thoughts about self-injury, lack of social sanction, significant distress, or interference in functioning
    • It does not occur exclusively during psychotic episodes, delirium, substance intoxication, or substance withdrawal
    • Common methods include cutting, scratching, burning, self-hitting, biting, and interfering with wound healing
    • Multiple methods are associated with more severe psychopathology
    • Is a common but potentially harmful behavior that can lead to suicidal thoughts or behavior
    • Can be beneficial in regulating negative emotions and reducing motivation for treatment
    • Is predominantly maintained by negative reinforcement, quickly reducing negative emotions and aversive arousal
    • Can also reduce dissociative experiences and suicidal ideation, and cope with trauma-related symptoms
    • Social and emotional reinforcement can also sustain the behavior
    • Prevalence is modestly higher in girls/women than boys/men, with a more pronounced difference in clinical samples
    • Most often begins in early to mid-teens and can continue for many years
    • It may peak in late adolescence and early 20s, then decline into adulthood
    • Culture-related issues include borderline personality disorder, suicidal behavior, and trichotillomania
    • Functional consequences include bloodborne disease transmission, severe burns, infection, and permanent scarring
    • Differentiation from suicidal behavior is based on the stated goal of the behavior, either to die or to experience relief
    • Nonsuicidal self-injury episodes are typically benign in individuals with frequent episodes

    Neurological Disorders and Mental Health

    • Neurological disorders can influence mental health bidirectionally.
    • Conditions like epilepsy, head or brain injuries, and some forms of multiple sclerosis can increase the chances of developing a mental health disorder.
    • Symptoms of mental health disorders increase if diagnosed with a neurological disorder.
    • People with comorbidity experience worse mental and physical health outcomes.

    Psychosocial and Environmental Factors

    • Psychosocial and environmental factors affect mental well-being and are linked to poor mental health.
    • Supportive social and physical environments are essential for therapeutic and supportive care.
    • Family dynamics play a critical role in an individual's mental health.
    • A lack of parental support may contribute to externalizing problems in children and adolescents.
    • Supportive sibling relationships can buffer the effects of maternal depression.
    • Stress in the family can significantly impact an individual member's mental well-being.
    • Disruptive family relationships, particularly with fathers, can negatively impact boys and African American children.

    Diagnosis and Treatment of Mental Health with Coexisting Conditions

    • Diagnosing mental health disorders with coexisting medical conditions is complex and can lead to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment.
    • Formal diagnostic guidelines often don't consider the impact of medical or psychosocial aspects on the diagnosis.
    • Clinicians rely on guidelines stating criteria for most mental health diagnoses must be met "independently" of other co-occurring conditions.
    • Gold standard in diagnosis involves history, signs and symptoms, testing, and clinical thinking.
    • Merging operational definitions between different fields provides shared patient care and medication benefits but risks generalization.
    • Interviewers use a benign probing philosophy that leverages patient reporting of symptoms and stressors to interpret the most critical symptoms and primary diagnosis.
    • Treatment approaches for individuals with comorbid conditions are not explicit.
    • Coordinated care addressing both mental well-being and health needs is desirable.
    • Treatment options can better engage the individual and optimize outcomes when tailored to the predominant presentation of the complaint.

    Ethical Considerations

    • Ethical considerations in mental health treatment are based on four principles:

      • Beneficence (doing what is in the best interest of the patient)
      • Non-maleficence (avoiding harm to the patient)
      • Autonomy (safeguarding a patient's right to self-determination)
      • Justice (fair and equitable treatment)

    • Informed consent is crucial to ensure the patient understands the nature of their condition, proposed treatments, and potential risks and benefits.

    • Ethical issues exist regarding patient involvement in research, especially for those with complex conditions.

    Future Directions

    • Future research is needed to understand the impact of various combinations of medical, psychosocial, and environmental problems on diagnosis and treatment.
    • Effective treatment for individuals with coexisting conditions should include non-pharmacological strategies and the integration of multiple treatment types.
    • Further investigation is needed to determine appropriate strategies for managing medical problems.
    • Clinical practice must move towards a more multidisciplinary approach to address the complex needs of individuals with coexisting conditions.
    • Ongoing health professional education is essential to challenge the myth that most mental health consumers require only pharmacological treatment.
