Abstract

This workshop contains entirely new content that has been updated to October 2022. In mid-2022, the American Psychiatric Association released the DSM-5-TR. This Text Revision amends the 2013 version of the DSM-5. The most significant changes include updated content from a 10-year literature review conducted by subject-matter experts. This alone is worth the price of the text. Their review resulted in “significant revisions” to 75% of disorder texts. Changes have focused on sex-, gender- and culture-related diagnostic issues; diagnostic association with suicidal thoughts and behaviour; as well as prevalence rates, risk, prognostic factors, and comorbidities. This workshop reviews important content changes, including: 5 new disorders and conditions, 2 reinstated diagnoses, 6 renamed disorders, 70 modified criterion sets, changes to diagnostic wording, updated terminology, changes to 6 specifier definitions, changes to DSM-5’s ICD-10-CM codes, and updated coding notes. All participants will receive an up-to-date alphabetical list of DSM-5-TR diagnoses and their diagnostic codes. Bonus material includes an analysis of early grumblings about DSM-5-TR and consideration of the future of ICD-10 vs. DSM. The material will also include helpful ICD diagnoses and codes that fill in diagnostic gaps not covered by DSM-5-TR such as Gaming Disorders.
