DSM-5: Changes to the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is the
standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health
providers in the United States. It contains a listing of diagnostic
criteria for every psychiatric disorder recognized by the U.S. health
care system.

Revisions Published in 2013
The American Psychiatric Association has announced that DSM-5, the new edition of the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, incorporates significant scientific
advances in more precisely identifying and diagnosing mental disorders. DSM-5 provides a
common language for patients, caregivers, and clinicians to communicate about the
disorders. 
Some of the categories for anxiety disorders have changed. These changes will not affect
your ability to find treatment or your current health insurance. Ask your therapist or doctor
about how the new criteria may provide a more accurate way to characterize symptoms and
assess severity.

Anxiety and Depression Refinements
Much has remained the same in the areas of anxiety and depression, with refinements of
criteria and symptoms across the lifespan. Some disorders included in the broad category of
anxiety disorders are now in three sequential chapters: Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-
Compulsive and Related Disorders, and Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders. This move
emphasizes the distinctiveness of each category while signaling their interconnectedness.
(See list below.)
One significant change is the developmental approach and examination of disorders across
the lifespan, including children and older adults. Some conditions are grouped together as
syndromes because the symptoms are not sufficiently distinct to separate the disorders.

Others have been split apart into distinct groups.
The DSM-5 is not a treatment guide, and it will not affect the availability of treatments for
patients and their loved ones.
