Significant changes—including the addition of prolonged grief disorder
and the inclusion of symptom codes for suicidal behavior and nonsuicidal
self-injury, refinement of criteria, and comprehensive literature-based
updates to the text—will appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), to be released by American Psychiatric Association Publishing in March 2022.
The revised manual includes updates that are vital to clinicians and
researchers. These include clarifying modifications to the criteria sets
for more than 70 disorders, updates to descriptive text for the
majority of disorders based on literature reviews, and a comprehensive
review of the impact of racism and discrimination on the diagnosis and
manifestations of mental disorders.
