The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) has been the standard used in
the assessment and diagnosis of psychopathology in the United States within the last 60 years.
The latest edition incorporates the codes utilized by the International Classification of Diseases-
Clinical Modifications (ICD-CM 10) by the World Health Organization.
It incorporates researches on the brain, human behavior, and genetics.
The DSM 5 is divided into three sections:
Section 1 talks about the correct use of the manual, the diagnosis using a non-axial
format, and the definition of mental disorder.
Section 2 includes the 20 classifications of disorders including their diagnostic criteria
and codes
Section 3 talks about the emerging measures and models, including assessment
procedures, cultural formulations, an alternative model of personality disorders, and
conditions for further study
