Study Notes
Diagnostic Classification Systems in Mental Health
-
Taxonomy is the science of classification; in biology, it involves describing, identifying, naming, and classifying organisms.
-
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) are used to define, not explain, mental disorders.
ICD and DSM Purpose
-
ICD aims to provide a globally-applicable classification of diseases and related health problems.
-
DSM initially aimed to improve communication about patients in US mental hospitals and was used in the US census to record "idiocy/insanity".
Defining Mental Disorders
-
Defining mental disorders involves considering statistical deviation from the average, patient's subjective experience, and cultural norms.
-
There's no single definition encompassing all situations.
DSM Evolution
-
The DSM has undergone several revisions (I, II, II-R, III, III-R, IV, IV-TR, 5), reflecting evolving understanding and approaches.
-
DSM-III introduced an atheoretical, operationalized definition, allowing for agreement across different theoretical perspectives.
-
DSM-IV emphasized social and occupational function, avoiding untenable distinctions between brain and mind.
-
DSM-5 aims for harmonization with ICD-11 and proposes a new categorical organization based on eleven indicators, including shared neural substrates, family traits, genetic risk factors, and treatment response.
DSM-IV-TR vs. DSM-5 Categorizations
-
DSM-IV-TR organized disorders based on categories like those typically diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence; delirium, dementia, and cognitive disorders; substance-related disorders; mood disorders etc.
-
DSM-5 reorganized categories into Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders, Bipolar and Related Disorders, Depressive Disorders etc.
Severe Mental Illness (SMI) and Common Mental Disorders (CMD)
- RSS2006 covered SMI and CMD categories, spanning neurodevelopmental disorders to personality and medication-induced disorders.
Applying DSM/ICD in Occupational Therapy (OT)
-
Only trained psychiatrists and some psychologists can diagnose mental disorders.
-
Three diagnosis types are primary, provisional, and differential.
-
Applying DSM/ICD may lead to labeling effects (influencing self-identity and behavior), stigmatization, and the adoption of the "sick role" (with associated rights and responsibilities).
-
OT treatment focuses on functional improvement addressing areas not directly defined by diagnostic categories. Utilizing models like PEOP and MOHO and ICF is key.
Suggested Thinking Process for Applying Diagnostic Information in OT
-
The diagnostic process includes reviewing history of present illness, signs and symptoms, and patient and significant other reports.
-
Crucial for OT is determining whether referral aims fall within the OT domain of concern and if OT intervention can make a difference.
