Description
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR)
DSM-5-TR is the diagnostic reference clinicians actually reach for when they need to name a condition and write it down correctly. The American Psychiatric Association built this revision on work by more than 200 subject matter experts, and it carries the ICD-10-CM codes that have come into use since DSM-5 appeared in 2013.
The diagnostic text has been rewritten rather than lightly touched up. Entries now say more about prevalence, development and course, risk and prognostic factors, cultural considerations, diagnostic markers, suicide risk and differential diagnosis.
What changed in the text revision
- Prolonged Grief Disorder is recognised as a formal diagnosis.
- New codes let a clinician document suicidal behavior on its own, without attaching it to another diagnosis.
- Updated ICD-10-CM codes throughout.
- A redesigned diagnostic classification, a four colour format and a rewritten introduction.
Social context in assessment
The revision brings in current thinking on how racism, discrimination and social circumstances affect mental health, so that an assessment accounts for the world a patient lives in rather than symptoms alone.
Who uses it
Psychiatry, psychology, counseling, nursing, social work, primary care and forensic settings. It gives all of them the same vocabulary, which is most of the point: a diagnosis written in one clinic reads the same way in the next.
