The most immediately obvious change is the shift from ① using Roman numerals to Arabic numbers in the name (i.e., it is now written as DSM-5, not DSM-V). ② Perhaps most notably, the DSM-5 eliminated the multiaxial system. Instead, the DSM-5 lists categories of disorders along with a number of different related disorders. Example categories in the DSM-5 include anxiety disorders, bipolar and related disorders, depressive disorders, feeding and eating disorders, obsessive compulsive and related disorders, and personality disorders. A few other changes that came with the DSM-5 included: ③ Asperger syndrome was eliminated as a diagnosis and, instead, incorporated under the category of Autism spectrum disorder. ⑪ Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder was added Used to be considered ⑤ as a symptom of OCD Several diagnoses were officially added to the manual, including binge eating disorder, hoarding disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. While the DSM is an important tool, only those who have received specialized training and possess sufficient experience are qualified to diagnose and treat mental illnesses. Changes in the DSM-5-TR The DSM, fifth edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) contains revised criteria for more than 70 Q disorders. The DSM-5-TR also includes the addition of a new diagnosis called prolonged grief disorders.
