DSM5kriterierna

DSM5kriterierna refers to the diagnostic criteria outlined in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). This manual, published by the American Psychiatric Association, is a widely used classification system for mental disorders. The DSM-5 criteria provide a standardized framework for diagnosing a broad range of psychological conditions. Each disorder is described with a set of specific symptoms and behaviors that must be present for a diagnosis to be made. These criteria are designed to improve diagnostic reliability and consistency among clinicians. The DSM-5 represents an update from previous versions, incorporating new research and evolving understandings of mental health. It is used by psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health professionals for diagnosis, treatment planning, and research purposes. The manual also includes information on associated features, prevalence, and cultural considerations for each disorder.
