ICD—10 was published in DSM—III introduced a number of important innovations, including explicit diagnostic criteria, a multiaxial diagnostic assessment system, and an approach that attempted to be neutral with respect to the causes of mental disorders.
This effort was aided by extensive work on constructing and validating the diagnostic criteria and developing psychiatric interviews for research and clinical uses. ICD—9 did not include diagnostic criteria or a multiaxial system largely because the primary function of this international system was to outline categories for the collection of basic health statistics.
In contrast, DSM—III was developed with the additional goal of providing precise definitions of mental disorders for clinicians and researchers. A much broader classification system was later developed by the U. Army and modified by the Veterans Administration to better incorporate the outpatient presentations of World War II servicemen and veterans e. ICD—6 was heavily influenced by the Veterans Administration classification and included 10 categories for psychoses and psychoneuroses and seven categories for disorders of character, behavior, and intelligence.
It also provides a common language for researchers to study the criteria for potential future revisions and to aid in the development of medications and other interventions. DSM has been periodically reviewed and revised since it was first published in The previous version of DSM was completed nearly two decades ago; since that time, there has been a wealth of new research and knowledge about mental disorders.
What was the process that led to the new manual? The APA prepared for the revision of DSM for nearly a decade, with an unprecedented process of research evaluation that included a series of white papers and 13 scientific conferences supported by the National Institutes of Health. This preparation brought together almost international scientists and produced a series of monographs and peer-reviewed journal articles.
The DSM—5 Task Force and Work Groups, made up of more than world-renowned clinicians and researchers, reviewed scientific literature and garnered input from a breadth of advisors as the basis for proposing draft criteria. The Scientific Review Committee evaluated the strength of the evidence based on a specific template of validators.
In addition, a Clinical and Public Health Committee reviewed proposed revisions to address difficulties experienced with the clinical utility, consistency and public health impact of DSM—IV criteria.
Who was involved in the development process? These are experts in neuroscience, biology, genetics, statistics, epidemiology, social and behavioral sciences, nosology, and public health.
The manual was designed for the use of Institutions for the Insane. Office of the US Surgeon General adopted the Standard to classify illnesses on the battle grounds and among veterans returning from the war. The Veterans Administration adopted the Standard with few modifications.
After the war, psychiatrist with experience of using the Standard during the Second World War continued to use it in civilian practice. It resembled the Standard. In the year , the APA set up a committee on nomenclature and statistics. This committee published the first DSM in the year It did not carry any number attached to its title. Authors of the manual had perhaps not envisaged that the manual would be revised periodically.
This would facilitate subsequent revisions being numbered as 5. While facilitating the numbering, it is also a tacit acceptance that the DSM 5 is not the ultimate manual of classification of mental disorders.
It is a document that reflects current consensus of the leading academicians, clinicians, and researchers in the field of mental health. The diagnostic criteria continued to result in rather frequent diagnosis of comorbidity.
Heterogeneity within the diagnostic groups was unacceptable to the researchers and it contaminated treatment outcome. The erratic thresholds for inclusion and exclusion could not differentiate the normal from abnormal or syndromal from subsyndromal disorders. Clinicians would then resort to the not otherwise specified NOS diagnoses. The DSM IV did not consider emerging clinical conditions like addiction to the internet or the so called nocturnal refrigerator raids. These are some of the salient features that prompted leaders in the field led by Dr.
Steven M. It reflects the need for urgency and prominence of mental disorders. An important component of mental disorders is that unlike physical illnesses that incorporate a socially acceptable sick role, mental disorders could stigmatize personal sense of identity.
The planning conference included experts in family and twin studies, molecular genetics, basic and clinical neurosciences, cognitive and behavioral sciences, and covered issues in development throughout the lifespan and disability. The conference focused on issues like lacunae in the DSM IV system of classification, disability and impairment, newer insights from the research in neuroscience, need for improved nomenclature, and the impact of cross cultural issues.

The long-awaited fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders —DSM-5 for short—angered some mental health professionals and patient advocates, both for what it included and didn't include, when it was released by the American Psychiatric Association in May For years, the DSM has been known as the "psychiatrist's bible. It's also used in determining insurance benefits and disability, affects the availability of special education and social services, and is a staple in court proceedings.
This latest edition, the fifth, had been several years in the making—years that saw extreme controversy about some of the proposed changes. Some members of the committees working on the new volume even resigned in protest of particular changes.
The DSM lists criteria for diagnosing such things as psychotic disorders like schizophrenia , mood disorders like bipolar , anxiety disorders , personality disorders like antisocial personality disorder , trauma- and stress-related disorders such as PTSD , and many, many more. For each disorder, there's a list of specific symptoms and behaviors that must or must not be present in order for the illness to be diagnosed.
Usually, a certain number of the listed items must be present, rather than all of them. For example, in generalized anxiety disorder, a diagnosis requires excessive, hard-to-control worrying for at least six months, plus at least three of the following symptoms or behaviors:.
