	Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A DSM cautionary statement is required to create balance and perspective for the various diagnoses and criteria used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association.
		The criteria that are described in the DSM are meant to be used by clinicians and investigators.
		The classificatory structure of early editions of the DSM was rooted in a distinction between two poles of mental disorder, psychosis and neurosis.

	American Psychiatric Association
		DSM stands for "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" and is published by the American Psychiatric Association, the professional membership organization representing United States psychiatrists.
		Another important aspect of the DSM diagnostic system is that the diagnoses are described strictly in terms of patterns of symptoms that tend to cluster together; the symptoms can be observed by the clinician or reported by the patient or family members.
		Since the primary purpose of the early versions of the DSM was to standardize data collection administratively and to facilitate communication among clinicians, the diagnostic makeup of these early versions represented a consensus of those disorders that were being seen by psychiatrists in the United States in the 1950's and 1960's.

	DSM V-Codes
		The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals in the United States.
		The DSM consists of three major components: the diagnostic classification, the diagnostic criteria sets, and the descriptive text.
		Numerous changes were made to the classification (i.e., disorders were added, deleted, and reorganized), to the diagnostic criteria sets, and to the descriptive text based on a careful consideration of the available research about the various mental disorders.

	DSM IV (TR)
		THE DSM IV This is the book that contains all of the criteria for mental health or psychiatric disorders.
		As in all of medicine there are some diagnoses that appeared in the DSM IIIR edition that did not make it to the DSM IV edition and some diagnoses that appear in DSM IV that were not in DSM IIIR.
		The dividing line between abuse and dependency is very gray and fuzzy in DSM though we all acknowledge that it exists and is easier to determine when referring to or evaluating one particular patient.

	Center for the Study of Autism
		In order for this diagnosis to be made, all of the following need to be present: apparently normal pre- and perinatal development; apparently normal psychomotor development through the first 5 months of life; and normal head circumference at birth.
		Hopefully, as the DSM system recognizes the variability of Autistic-like behaviors across individuals, researchers can determine the etiologies and treatments for each of these related disorders.
		One question that remains unanswered due to this refinement in the DSM system is how the schools will recognize the need for services for individuals in all four of these diagnostic categories, not just for those diagnosed with Autism.

		The DSM is - unjustly - much decried and much derided by critics, both laymen and mental health practitioners.
		This DSM-IV Text revision serves as a bridge across the old DSM IV and the next DSM V. In this text revision the reader cannot find substantial changes of the diagnostic criteria, but only an augmented revision of the parts which present and describe the various disorders.
		Generally speaking and as far as the epidemiological and clinical updates are concerned, together with important trends for research and didactic activity, this DSM IV TR is surely a most useful and authoritative purchase.

		Much of the diagnostic information on these pages is gathered from the DSM IV.
		There is a good deal of overlap among the different diagnoses listed in the DSM IV, which you may notice by browsing these pages.
		The reason for this is the same as for the overlap in medical diagnoses...rarely is a symptom exclusive of anything, and rarely can a diagnosis be made without a pattern or cluster of symptoms.

		There are obviously many possible ways for a person, their mind, and their dealings with the world around them to be less than perfect (I choose to describe it this way instead of as "mental illness" or "disorders").
		What doesn't exist, but is assumed and believed to exist, is the absurd notion that man is solely a biological entity, able to be understood in all his facets by chemistry, biology and physiology alone.
		Of course, the more "mental illnesses" the psychiatric field can "fabricate" and place in the DSM, the more coverage insurance companies will provide to psychiatrists and drug companies as insurance companies use the DSM as their main source for ascertaining the "legitimacy" of a "mental illness".

		With the third edition, published in 1980, the DSM began recommending assessment of mental disorders according to five axes, or dimensions, that together establish an overall picture of a person's mental, emotional, and physical health, providing as complete a context as possible in which to make a proper diagnosis.
		The diagnostician evaluates the patient according to criteria for each axis to produce a comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition; the multiaxial system addresses the complex nature of more mental disorders.
		In cases where the evidence of a literature review was found to be insufficient to resolve a particular question, data sets were reanalyzed and issue-focused field trials were conducted.

	Differential Diagnosis of Addictive Sexual Disorders Using the DSM-IV
		Axis IV is for reporting psychosocial and environmental problems that may affect the treatment and prognosis of mental disorders (such as financial, legal, and relationship problems), and Axis V scores the patient's current overall occupational, psychological, and social functioning, recorded as a single number on a scale from 1 to 100.
		To remain within DSM terminology, Irons and Schneider (1994) code the results of Irons' assessments using Paraphilia (either one or more specifically identified in the DSM-IV, or Paraphilia NOS), Impulse Control Disorder NOS, or Sexual Disorder NOS, but always with the inclusion of appropriate and relevant descriptors.
		Dementia and delirium result in loss of the ability to judge the appropriateness of various behaviors; public masturbation, inappropriate sexual touching, and uninhibited language may be expressions of the altered social awareness.

	Asperger Syndrome: What Is It?
		Asperger Syndrome or (Asperger's Disorder) is a neurobiological disorder named for a Viennese physician, Hans Asperger, who in 1944 published a paper which described a pattern of behaviors in several young boys who had normal intelligence and language development, but who also exhibited autistic-like behaviors and marked deficiencies in social and communication skills.
		In spite of the publication of his paper in the 1940's, it wasn't until 1994 that Asperger Syndrome was added to the DSM IV and only in the past few years has AS been recognized by professionals and parents.
		I saw that someone posted the DSM IV criteria for Asperger's but I thought it might be good to provide a more down to earth description.

		In addition to the reactions to discrete, one time, traumatic incidents documented in these studies, intrafamilial abuse is increasingly recognized to produce complex post-traumatic syndromes (75), which involve chronic affect dysregulation, destructive behavior against self and others, learning disablities, dissociative problems, somatization, and distortions in concepts about self and others (76,77).
		The Field Trials for DSM IV showed that these this conglomeration of symptoms tended to occur together and that the severity of this syndrome was proportional to the age of onset of the trauma and its duration (78).
		While current research on traumatized children is outside the scope of this review, it is important to recognize that a range of neurobiological abnormalities are beginning to be identified in this population.
