History

• Each DSM has tried to resolve problems in previous versions.

• Problems in DSM-IV-TR–Not very user friendly.–9 categories for diagnostic uncertainty. –NOS predominated.– Insufficient on culture.– Index not as good.

Guiding Principles for Changes to DSM

Research evidence should support any addition or substantive modification.

Continuity with the current manual should be maintained when possible.

No restraints should limit the degree of change between DSM-5 and past editions. (Contradiction)

Routine clinical practices must be able to implement any changes.

Overall Structural Changes What is the order of chapters (chronology?

Relatedness?). No axes info goes elsewhere. Ego syntonic / dystonic (insight) specifiers:–Good or Fair (dystonic)–Poor insight (ambivalent)–Absent insight (syntonic)

Overall Structural Changes p. 2

• Some require direct knowledge over 12 mos. • Severity indicators (replaces Axis V: GAF). • Severity level is “over time & circumstances.”• Some diagnoses go up to severity level 2, some

to 3. Rating scales. 0 = None (>70 GAF)1 = Mild (>70 GAF)2 = Severe3 = Very severe (<31 GAF)

Changes• Axis III: Part of diagnosis on Axis I.• Axis IV: Make notation of psychosocial and

contextual factors. • What happened to The Big 4 from DSM IV?– (GMC, substance use, malingering or factitious,

normal)?

The Big 4

• GMC: –Not in index. –But evident throughout.–Often option of X Disorder Due to Another

Medical Condition (e.g., Depressive Disorder Due to MS).–Sometimes not (e.g., Bipolar Dis Due to

A.M.C.)RO

11

Page 12: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

The Big 4

• Malingering Factitious Disorder – In Somatic Symptom & Related Disorders chapter.– Factitious Disorder Imposed on Self– Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (was “by

proxy).– Single vs Recurrent Episodes– “Surreptitious actions to misrepresent, simulate, or

cause signs or symptoms of illness or injury in absence of obvious external rewards.” (p. 325)

– May co-occur with medical condition (e.g., manipulating blood sugar in person with diabetes).

12

Page 13: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

The Big 4

• Substance Abuse: and Suicidality: –Elevated status. –Will always note the correlation. –Some disorders can be: “Substance/Medication-Induced.

13

Page 14: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

The Big 4

• Normal:–Less of a concern?• Bereavement (V code).• Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (new).• ASD (increased stigma?).

– “Saving normal” (Allen Francis, 2013)

14

Page 15: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

Overall Structural Changes p. 3• NOS CNEC (conditions not

elsewhere classified):–Only for 6 months. –Only for specific reasons:

1) Diagnosis unclear (e.g., psychotic disorder CNEC)2) Clinician not trained to make the dx.3) Clinician cannot get info (e.g., client uncooperative;

records not available).4) You do not have enough info.5) Clinicians needs or is required to take more time of

direct observation (e.g., 12 months).

RO

Page 16: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

Implications?• Positives: –More reliability?–Better treatment planning?–Longer therapy authorized?

• More work & time in the diagnostic process.• Demand for outcome studies; clinicians to

validate their treatments (Dept of Corrections)• Responsibilities of diagnostician.– Severity index.– Symptom scales for some disorders.

5 Pathogenic Realms

Some disorders are considered to arise from one or more of five pathogenic realms. This distinguishes them from disorders that are thought to be biochemical (e.g., bipolar disorder).

1. Persistent disregard of child’s emotional needs; &/or2. Persistent disregard of child’s physical needs; &/or3. Repeated changes in primary caregivers; &/or4. Raised in settings with limited opportunities for

stable attachments; &/or5. Persistent harsh punishment or other types of grossly

inept parenting. RO

Bipolar Disorders

• 1974: Increased focus on distinguishing BP from schizophrenia.

• Mid-1980s: Broadening the “BP spectrum”–Avoid antidepressant-induced mania–Treat the spectrum properly

• Mid-1990s: Pediatric BD–Catch it early, avoid kindling

DZ

35p. 123

Page 36: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

• Late 1990s: Increased use of 2nd generation antipsychotics for BD.• Now: Narrowing the gate on Pediatric

BD.

Bipolar Disorders

36

Page 37: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

• Bipolar I: no change (> 1 episode mania). (NB: suicide risk 15 x’s greater)

• Bipolar II: no change (hypomania & MDD) (Lethality of suicide methods greater than Bipolar I)

• Cyclothymia: (hypomanic episodes below criteria for hypomania + depression below threshold for MD); (minimum of 2 years for adults, 1 year in children/adolescents).

Bipolar Disorders

Specifiers:oAnxious distress (mild, moderate, moderate-severe, severe).oMixed features.oRapid cycling (4 mood episodes in 12/ months. oWith melancholic features.oWith atypical features.

Page 39: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

What about Pediatric Bipolar?• Increasing diagnosis, over-diagnosis, wrong medication

interventions, inaccurate prediction, heterogenous disorder. • There may be two types of currently diagnosed PBD:

– a narrow definition that looks like adult BD > still BD.– a different form that includes explosive emotional outbursts that don’t

look like mania (no grandiosity, delusions) and are not so cyclical. • Looks a little like ADHD, but there may be more aggression.

Looks like disruptive behavior disorder, but more emotional lability.

• Believed that they will not grow up with BD and should perhaps be treated with antidepressants and/or Ritalin.

• Many will now be diagnosed with Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (under Depression). D

Depressive DisordersDisruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder:– New disorder.– Older than 5 yrs;– Persistent irritability;– Frequent episodes of behavior outbursts > 3 a

week for more than 1 year; – Intended to address concerns about potential over-

dx & over-trmnt of bipolar disorder in children; – First diagnosis between ages 6-18;onset <10.– Cannot coexist with ODD or bipolar disorder.– Children with this dx typically develop unipolardepression or anxiety, not bipolar disorder.R

Bereavement“Responses to a significant loss (e.g., bereavement…) may include the feelings of intense sadness, rumination about the loss, insomnia, poor appetite, and weight loss noted in the Criterion A [for MDE], which may resemble a depressive episode. Although such symptoms may be understandable or considered appropriate to the loss, the presence of a MDE in addition to the normal response to a significant loss should also be carefully considered. This decision inevitably requires the exercise of clinical judgment based on the individual’s history and cultural norms for the expression of distress in the context of loss.” (p. 125-126) {V Code}•See footnote p. 126; same footnote p. 161 43

Substance-Related & Addictive Disorders

Example: Moderate Valium use disorder; Mild alcohol use disorder; Secobarbital withdrawal.

Page 50: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

• New language:“All drugs that are taken in excess have in common direct activation of the brain reward system…. Individuals with lower levels of self-control, which may reflect impairments of brain inhibitory mechanisms, may be particularly predisposed to develop substance use disorders, suggesting that the roots of substance use disorders for some persons can be seen in behaviors long before the onset of actual substance use itself.” (p. 481)

Substance-Related & Addictive Disorders

Page 51: Being a Good Diagnostician:  Changes in Diagnosis

• “This chapter also includes gambling disorder, reflecting evidence that gambling behaviors activate reward systems similar to those activated by drugs of abuse, and produce some behavioral symptoms that appear comparable to those produced by the substance use disorders.” (p. 481)

The Big Five(OCEAN)

Openness: This trait features characteristics such as imagination and insight, and those high in this trait also tend to have a broad range of interests.

Conscientiousness: Common features of this dimension include high levels of thoughtfulness, with good impulse control and goal-directed behaviors. Those high in conscientiousness tend to be organized and mindful of details.

Extraversion: This trait includes characteristics such as excitability, sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness and high amounts of emotional expressiveness.

Agreeableness: This personality dimension includes attributes such as trust, altruism, kindness, affection, & other pro-social behaviors.

Neuroticism: Individuals high in this trait tend to experience emotional instability, anxiety, moodiness, irritability, and sadness.
