Recommendations to be grounded in empirical evidence
Any changes to the DSM-5 in the future must be made in
light of maintaining continuity with previous editions for
this reason the DSM-5 is not using Roman numeral V but
rather 5 since later editions or revision would be DSM-5.1,
DSM-5.2 etc.
There are no preset limitations on the number of changes
that may occur over time with the new DSM-5
The DSM-5 will continue to exist as a living, evolving
document that can be updated and reinterpreted over
time
Focus of DSM-5 Changes






DSM-5 is striving to be more etiological-however disorders are
caused by a complex interaction of multiple factors and various
etiological factors can present with the same symptom pattern
The diagnostic groups have been reshuffled
There is a dimensional component to the categories to be further
researched and covered in Section III of the DSM-5
Emphasis was on developmental adjustment criteria
New disorders were considered and older disorders were to be
deleted
Special emphasis was made for Substance/Medication Induced
Disorders and specific classifications for them are listed for
Schizophrenia; Bipolar; Depressive, Anxiety, Obsessive
Compulsive; Sleep-Wake; Sexual Dysfunctions; and
Neurocognitive Disorders.
Definition of Mental Disorder
A mental disorder is a syndrome characterized by clinically significant
disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior
that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or
developmental processes underlying mental functioning. Mental
disorders are usually associated with significant distress or disability in
social, occupational, or other important activities. An expectable or
culturally approved response to a common stressor or loss, such as
death of a loved one, is not a mental disorder. Socially deviant behavior
(e.g., political, religious or sexual) and conflicts that are primarily
between the individual and society are not mental disorders unless the
deviance or conflict results from a dysfunction in the individual, as
described above.
(American Psychiatric Association (2013). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition DSM-5. Arlington VA: Author, p. 20.)
Why identify a mental disorder
diagnosis?
The diagnosis of a mental disorder should have clinical utility:
 Helps to determine prognosis
 Helps in development of treatment plans
 Helps to give an indication of potential treatment outcomes
A diagnosis of a mental disorder is not equivalent to a need for treatment.
Need for treatment is a complex clinical decision that takes into
consideration:
 Symptom severity
 Symptom salience (presence of relevant symptom e.g., presence of
suicidal ideation)
 The client's distress (mental pain) associated with the symptom(s)
 Disability related to the client's symptoms, risks, and benefits of
available treatment
 Other factors such as mental symptoms complicating other illness

Obvious Changes in DSM-5 (1)
The DSM-5 will discontinue the Multiaxial
Diagnosis, No more Axis I,II, III, IV & V-which
means that Personality Disorders will now
appear as diagnostic categories and there will
be no more GAF score or listing of psychosocial
stressor or contributing medical conditions
 The Multi-axial model will be replaced by
Dimensional component to diagnostic
categories

Obvious Changes in DSM-5 (2)
Developmental adjustments will be added to criteria
 The goal has been to have the categories more sensitive to
gender and cultural differences
 Diagnostic codes will change from numeric to
alphanumeric e.g., Obsessive Compulsive Disorder will
change from 300.3 to F42
 Diagnostic codes will change from numeric ICD-9-CM
codes on September 30, 2014 to alphanumeric ICD-10-CM
codes on October 1, 2014 e.g., Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder will change from 300.3 to F42
 They have done away with the NOS labeling and replaced
it with Other Specified... or Unspecified

What Replaces NOS?
NOS is replace by either:
Other specified disorder or Unspecified disorder type are to be
used if the diagnosis of a client is too uncertain because of:
1. Behaviors which are associated with a classification are seen but
there is uncertainty regarding the diagnostic category due to the fact
that
 The client presents some symptoms of the category but a complete
clinical impression is not clear
 The client responds to external stimuli with symptoms of psychosis,
schizophrenia etc. but does not present with a full range of the
symptoms need for a complete diagnosis
2. The client has been unwilling to provide information due to an
unwillingness to be with the clinician or angry about being brought in to
be seen or the there is too brief a period of time in which the client has
been seen or the clinician is untrained in the classification
Rules for use of Other Specific or Unspecified
This designation can last only six months and after that a specific
diagnostic category has to be determined for the diagnosis of the
client.
Respect for Age, Gender & Culture in DSM-5
Each diagnostic definition, where appropriate
will incorporate:
1. Developmental symptom manifestation –
regarding the age of client
2. Gender specific disorders
3. Cultural sensitivity in regards to certain
behaviors
1. Principal Diagnosis
Principal Diagnosis is to be used when more than one diagnosis for an
individual is given in most cases as the main focus of attention or treatment:
 In an inpatient setting, the Principal diagnosis is the condition established
to be chiefly responsible for the admission of the individual
 In an outpatient setting, the Principal diagnosis is the condition
established as reason for visit responsible for care to be received
The Principal diagnosis is often harder to identify when a
substance/medication related disorder is accompanied by a non-substancerelated diagnosis such as major depression since both may have contributed
equally to the need for admission or treatment.
 Principal diagnosis is listed first and the term "Principal diagnosis" follows
the diagnosis name
 Remaining disorders are listed in order of focus of attention and
treatment
2. Provisional Diagnosis
“Provisional" can be used when there is
strong presumption that the full criteria will be
met for a disorder but not enough information
is available for a firm diagnosis. It must be
recorded "provisional" following the diagnosis
given
The provisional diagnoses are often found in
the “differential diagnosis” section within each
disorders section of the DSM-5
3. Other Condition That May Be a
Focus of Clinical Attention
Replaces the Psychosocial Stressors (Axis 4)
and GAF Score (Axis 5)
 Other Conditions that May Be a focus of
Clinical Attention ARE NOT mental disorders
 They are meant to draw attention to additional
issues which may be encountered in clinical
practice (p.715)
 Should be documented to help identify factors
which could impact the treatment planned

Categories of Other Conditions That
May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
Relational
2. Educational and Occupational Problems
3. Housing and Economic Problems
4. Other Problems Related to the Social Environment
5. Problems Related to Crime or Interaction with the Legal
System
6. Other Health Service Encounters for Counseling and

ICD Codes
Relationship to DSM-5
The World Health Organization (WHO) is
revising International Classification of
Diseases and Related Health Problems
(ICD-10) so that by 2015, ICD-11 will come
out
 DSM-5’s Codes are only the ICD-CM codes
(CM = Clinically Modified to fit a Nation’s
cultural makeup)
 October 1, 2014, ICD-10 codes are in
effect!

Which codes do we use?
Codes used in clinical reports &
insurance or 3rd party billing are the ICD
codes
 ICD codes are the only HIPAA approved
codes in the USA
 The DSM system is simply a diagnostic
aid to help us sort out what ICD-CM
code that is applicable for our clients


Descriptive Manual for ICD
The WHO publishes what is called “the
Blue Book” with descriptive explanations
of their Mental, Behavioral Disorders. It
is free from WHO and is available on
their website
 The difference between the APA DSM
system and the WHO ICD model is that
the WHO model is free which make no
one money

Specific Changes
Per Diagnostic Category
in DSM-5
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
1. Intellectual Disability (Intellectual Developmental Disorder) no longer
relies on IQ used as specifier because it is the adaptive functioning
that determines levels of support required.
 IQ measures are less valid in the lower end of the IQ range
 Still accepted that people with intellectual disability have scores
two standard deviations or more below the population mean,
including a margin for error which is generally +5 points. Thus on
tests with standard deviations of 15 and mean of 100 the score for
mild would involve 65-75 (70+5).
2. Asperger's Syndrome is lumped into Autism Spectrum since it is at
the milder end of the Spectrum
3. Childhood disintegrative disorder, Rett's disorder and Pervasive
developmental disorder not otherwise specified are also now
incorporated into the Autism Spectrum Disorder
4. Autism Spectrum Disorder is now characterized by deficits in two
domains:
1.
Deficits in social communication and social interaction
2.
Restricted repetitive patterns of verbal and nonverbal
communication.
Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
1.Changes for Criteria A for Schizophrenia were made:

Criterion A symptoms must be delusions, hallucinations, or
disorganized speech.
2. DSM-IV-TR subtypes of schizophrenia were eliminated

conceptualize as a heterogeneous array of stress-response
syndromes that occur after exposure to a distressing
(traumatic or nontraumatic) event.
Dissociative Disorders
1. Dissociative Fugue has been removed from
this category and is now a specifier of
dissociative amnesia
2. Derealization is included in the name and
symptom structure of the former
depersonalization disorder to become:

Somatic Symptom Disorder
1. Replaced Somatiform Disorders category with this category

having a paraphilic disorder, and a paraphilia by itself does not
automatically justify or require clinical intervention

Formulate Tentative Diagnosis
You are ready to make a tentative
Diagnosis using DSM-5 Including:
1. Principal Diagnosis
2. Provisional Diagnosis
3. Other Conditions That May Be a Focus
of Clinical Attention
DSM-5 Diagnosis Model






Use DSM-5 Most Appropriate Classification
Compare client’s symptoms lists with those
contained in DSM-5 to get to most appropriate
tentative Principal diagnosis
Then list any and all secondary Principal diagnoses
if the client’s symptoms match up for them
Also list Provisional Diagnoses if the client’s
presentation allows for these additional diagnoses
List all relevant ICD Codes for Other Conditions
That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
Each must be listed with number & description just
like the principal diagnosis
It is important to remember
The Diagnosis given a client is tentative
dependent on gathering more data in future
anticipated treatment
 Diagnoses can ALWAYS be changed to
address changes with the individual’s
presentation & functioning

Best of Luck in Using the
DSM-5

My hope is that this helped to get you
ready to use the DSM-5 to show your
competency and clinical expertise in
ways you have never been able to do
given the limitation of the deficiencies of
the previous DSM models.
Application with Real Cases

You will now break into groups of 4 or 5
members to work on the following five
cases and be prepared to give your
complete DSM-5 Model Diagnosis for
each case
