Journal Title: The Odisha Journal of Psychiatry - Year 2017, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
In development for more than a decade, the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) is now a reality. DSM-5 updates disorder criteria to more precisely capture the experiences and symptoms of children. . In an effort to improve diagnosis and care, two new disorders (social communication disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder) are among the changes made to DSM-5 to provide children with an accurate diagnostic home. Changes made to the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and texts for child psychiatric disorders are outlined in this article.
