Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Dsm-5(r))
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Dsm-5(r)) | American Psychiatric Association
9 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
This new edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5(R)), used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose and classify mental disorders, is the product of more than 10 years of effort by hundreds of international experts in all aspects of mental health. Their dedication and hard work have yielded an authoritative volume that defines and classifies mental disorders in order to improve diagnoses, treatment, and research. The criteria are concise and explicit, intended to facilitate an objective assessment of symptom presentations in a variety of clinical settings -- inpatient, outpatient, partial hospital, consultation-liaison, clinical, private practice, and primary care. New features and enhancements make DSM-5(R) easier to use across all settings: - The chapter organization reflects a lifespan approach, with disorders typically diagnosed in childhood (such as neurodevelopmental disorders) at the beginning of the manual, and those more typical of older adults (such as neurocognitive disorders) placed at the end. Also included are age-related factors specific to diagnosis. - The latest findings in neuroimaging and genetics have been integrated into each disorder along with gender and cultural considerations.- The revised organizational structure recognizes symptoms that span multiple diagnostic categories, providing new clinical insight in diagnosis. - Specific criteria have been streamlined, consolidated, or clarified to be consistent with clinical practice (including the consolidation of autism disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder into autism spectrum disorder; the streamlined classification of bipolar and depressive disorders; the restructuring of substance use disorders for consistency and clarity; and the enhanced specificity for major and mild neurocognitive disorders).- Dimensional assessments for research and validation of clinical results have been provided.- Both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes are included for each disorder, and the organizational structure is consistent with the new ICD-11 in development. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, is the most comprehensive, current, and critical resource for clinical practice available to today's mental health clinicians and researchers of all orientations. The information contained in the manual is also valuable to other physicians and health professionals, including psychologists, counselors, nurses, and occupational and rehabilitation therapists, as well as social workers and forensic and legal specialists.

#isolationinteraction @ElizaMarie I cannot get my brain to settle enough to read a book or write my paper that is due Saturday. I never expected this side effect from a pandemic.

In other news I‘m so glad for Litsy!!!! Anyone else really struggling with focus??? And oddly, fatigue? (Of course rainy weather is not helping)

Bry I was having a hard time focusing during my first couple days off but I found it helped to pick a book that had really short chapters so I only had to commit to a few minutes at a time...not sure how that would apply to paper-writing though! 4y
Amandajoy Yes, all of the things. I feel like everything I learned reading Burnout did not prepare me for a pandemic, social distancing, working from home, & homeschooling step kids. 4y
Chrissyreadit @Amandajoy 🙌For real!!! Truth!!! 4y

xicanti I seem to be doing okay with books, but I find it REALLY hard to write and, oddly, to watch TV. On the writing front, drafting longhand has helped me focus. It lets me get SOMETHING down, even if it‘s not perfect, and I can usually manage a preliminary edit while I type the thing up. 4y
BethM Word! Fatigue and focus are both hard. You got this! 4y
Hooked_on_books Yes, focus is a definite struggle. For me, audiobook + crafting helps, as it engages my brain and my hands and splits my focus enough that it‘s hard to think about anything but what I‘m doing. Which is a win in my book. 4y
Chrissyreadit @Hooked_on_books what are you crafting? Share some pics? 4y
Chrissyreadit @xicanti yes! Even tv is difficult! I am working from home and am struggling from not having the transition time. I think I need to just build in transition activities to reset my focus. 4y
Hooked_on_books I‘m putting together a model kit of a bookshop, actually. I posted a pic a week or so ago, but next time I do, I‘ll tag you. 4y
ElizaMarie Oh no! I am so sorry that your mind is wandering too much. Could you be hearing too much COVID news? I felt like when I was looking at it too much I was unable to think of anything else. This road trip drive thing is getting so icky with just viewing people in gloves/gowns/masks while pumping gas and stuff.

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie I‘m a total news junkie, info junkie nerd. I‘m just not focused because there‘s so much to do! My change in routine and the teens routine has thrown me. 4y
ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit Ah yes. I didn't think about routines too! I think because I do the 3 - 12 hour days and they kinda vary as to which day... I don't have a strong routine for anything.

I feel like I really should get started with a routine (like a work day routine and a non-work day routine) it might help me feel more centered.

Leaning new disorders is interesting but also so very sad when reading about who/how many they effect.

My life for the next few months....one of the many but this is definitely the one with the driest content. Ready for books I want to read rather than those I “have” to read!

QuoteQueen That one is about as fun as the MFT study guide I have. I like to reward myself with some fun reading after I finish a chapter to keep my sanity and love of books strong. 😉 6y
Pennington.K @QuoteQueen don‘t I know it! I have the MFT study guide also! I‘ve got about 4 different books going for school and overall they are so dry! I haven‘t been able to read for fun much but I am hoping over this week I can at least listen to an audiobook or something!! Good luck reading!! 6y
QuoteQueen Oh I‘ve been there. Finished my masters beginning of the year and now I get to read for fun AND do what I love (minus studying for licensing exams lol). Life is good and you‘ll get there too! Then even books for “work” are fun cause YOU pick them! 6y
Pennington.K Nice!!! That‘s awesome congrats on finishing! Good luck with the exams! LMFT or LPC? 6y
