DSM-5

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is a comprehensive classification system developed by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) for diagnosing and categorizing mental disorders. It provides standardized criteria and terminology used by clinicians, researchers, and mental health professionals, primarily in the United States but also internationally. In addition, DSM-5-TR includes a comprehensive review of the impact of racism and discrimination on the diagnosis and manifestations of mental disorders. The manual will help clinicians and researchers define and classify mental disorders, which can improve diagnoses, treatment, and research.
