medication (Szabo, 2011). I am asserting that “Yes, Psychopathology diagnostic classification systems (such as the DSM or ICD) are of little use to health professionals and patients because behaviours are often misidentified and medicalised”.

risk factors, and shared treatment response. While the DSM-5 task force ultimately decided that it was scientifically premature to transition to a completely dimensional diagnostic system that would have in effect changed the requirements for most disorders, the current edition serves as a transitional guideline to new diagnostic approaches without dramatically disrupting current clinical practice/research (APA, 2013). Dimensional approaches can be observed throughout the DSM-5 through the consolidation

Before, the DSM 4 used a 5-Axis diagnosis to address the whole person (DSM-IV-TR Multiaxial Diagnosis and the DSM-5 Single Axis Diagnosis [PowerPoint PDF], 2013).

The Diagnostic Statistical Manual is an extremely important asset to the mental health field. The DSM was created to assist clinicians in diagnosing and recognizing mental illness in their clients. It has been used for over six decades and there are a total of five editions. Each edition has some updated and new information that wasn’t included in the last edition. The reason for the changes in the DSM is because the mental health field is always evolving. There’s new information that’s discovered

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) identifies ten distinct personality disorders and groups them into three clusters which are established by “descriptive similarities” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p. 645)

History of DSM The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is a mental health diagnostic system that allow clinicians (i.e. psychiatrics, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists and nurses) to have a common understanding of mental health conditions (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000).

Diagnostic procedure: a procedure performed to obtain information needed to make a diagnosis and treatment plan. Therapeutic procedure: a procedure performed to treat a disease or condition. Mammograms and colonoscopies are examples of diagnostic procedures. However, a colonoscopy can be a procedure that overlaps and

The author’s attempted to identify factors that contributed to the variation between populations and cultures when using psychological assessment tools. This study was conducted through collected data from several countries databases and research. The authors gathered data from the World Health Organization standard diagnostic system, Epidemiological Catchment area studies, Diagnostic Interview case identification studies
