Highlights of Changes from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5
Changes made to the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and texts are outlined in this chapter in the same order
in which they appear in the DSM-5 classification. This is not an exhaustive guide; minor changes in text
or wording made for clarity are not described here. It should also be noted that Section I of DSM-5 contains
a description of changes pertaining to the chapter organization in DSM-5, the multiaxial system,
and the introduction of dimensional assessments (in Section III).
Terminology
The phrase “general medical condition” is replaced in DSM-5 with “another medical condition” where
relevant across all disorders.
