🧠 About DSM–5 vs. DSM–5‑TR

• DSM‑5 was first published in May 2013. It eliminated the multiaxial system used in DSM‑IV, adopted a chapter structure aligned with developmental lifespan and neuroscientific insights, and reorganized diagnostic categories to reflect current research and clinical utility APA Publishing+15Wikipedia+15Verywell Health+15.

• The latest version is the DSM‑5‑TR (Text Revision), published in March 2022, which updates the text, ICD‑10‑CM codes (including coding for suicidal behavior and prolonged grief disorder), and clarifies criteria for over 70 diagnoses American Psychiatric Association+6American Psychiatric Association+6APA Publishing+6.

📝 Key Structural Highlights

1. Section I equips readers with guidance on how to responsibly use the manual in clinical or legal contexts.

2. Section II is the meat of the manual—organized not by Axis, but by specific diagnostic categories with clearly defined criteria and coding schemes APA Publishing+4Wikipedia+4American Psychiatric Association+4.

3. Section III introduces newer tools and models, including the Alternative DSM‑5 Model for Personality Disorders and cultural diagnostics. It also signals future directions for research-based conditions Wikipedia+1APA Publishing+1.
