DSM5 Diagnostic Criteria and Coding

Image source - http://www.psychiatry.org/Image%20Library/Publications/DSM-5_3D.gif

From the list below there are 20 Diagnostic Criteria under the new DSM5 (2013). Which among the list would likely be included in the licensure exam? For us at TR Review we based our consideration from the Course Specifications provided by CHED which includes the following:

• Disorders usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood or adolescence                             

• Cognitive Disorders                                                                                                      

• Substance-related Disorders                                                                                                     

• Schizophrenia and other Psychotic Disorders                                                                               

• Mood Disorders                                                                                                                        

• Anxiety Disorders                                                                                                                     

• Dissociative Disorders                                                                                                              

• Personality Disorders

Note:  we are not saying these will be the only topics (criteria) that  will be covered, but we suggest to give emphasis in your review. As future Psychometrician would you think these criteria will be useful? We think they are. 

But please do not limit yourself in learning only these criteria but also learn the rest of the criteria: the nuances, similarities and relatedness of some with the other criteria. We included in the description of each criteria a summary from wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5

Diagnostic Criteria Coding

Read more here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5_codes

Important notes on the new DSM5:

To increase the utility to the clinician, the new version replaces the NOS (not otherwise specified) categories with two options: 

1) other specified disorder  - allows the clinician to specify the reason that the criteria for a specific disorder are not met

2) unspecified disorder - allows the clinician the option to forgo specification.

DSM-5 has discarded the multiaxial system of diagnosis (formerly Axis I, Axis II, Axis III), listing all disorders in Section II. It has replaced Axis IV with significant psychosocial and contextual features and dropped Axis V (Global Assessment of Functioning, known as GAF). The World Health Organization's (WHO) Disability Assessment Schedule is added to Section III (Emerging measures and models) under Assessment Measures, as a suggested, but not required, method to assess functioning.^[3]

DSM 5 and Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders

Image source - http://inpsyghts.files.wordpress.com/

Changes to the Diagnosis (from the DSM IV-TR to DSM 5)

1) Schizophrenia is characterized by:

• delusions
• hallucinations
• disorganized speech  and behavior
• other symptoms that cause social and occupational dysfunction

2) Symptoms present for 6 months and at least 1 month active symptoms

3) Patient exhibit at least 2 of the specified symptoms

4) No longer identify subtypes (paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated, and residual), since patient's symptoms often changed from one subtype to another and present an overlap

5) Some of the subtypes are now speficiers to provide detail to diagnosis (used also in other disorders like bipolar and major depresssive disorders).

Information from the site of DSM 5

To the DSM-5 User Community:

When the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) was released at the American Psychiatric Association’s Annual Meeting in May 2013, it marked the end of more than a decade’s journey in revising the criteria for the diagnosis and classification of mentaldisorders. Although DSM-5 is now complete, a great deal of work remains, and we are hopeful that once again you will play an active role in this next important phase of refining the manual. Our highest priority is ensuring the proper use of DSM-5, including providing training materials; answering questions about its implementation in clinical care and research; clarifying concerns about the new ICD codes and insurance billing; and correcting any errors. Information about DSM-5’s developmental history, including Task Force and Work Group membership and relevant resource documents, will also continue to be maintained here.

Professionals from the mental health and medical communities, patients and their families, and members of the public have had a strong voice in DSM-5 up to this point, and we hope to continue this dialogue over the coming years. Your input made this a remarkable collaborative process. We encourage you to continually visit this site to remain updated on its content and to provide feedback for future improvements.

On behalf of all those involved in the development of DSM-5, we thank you and look forward to hearing from you.
