Revision Guidelines for DSM-5

• Recommendations to be grounded in empirical
  evidence
• Any changes to the DSM-5 in the future must be
  made in light of maintaining continuity with
  previous editions for this reason the DSM-5 is
  not using Roman numeral V but rather 5 since
  later editions or revision would be DSM-5.1,
  DSM-5.2 etc.
• There are no preset limitations on the number of
  changes that may occur over time with the new
  DSM-5
• The DSM-5 will continue to exist as a living,
  evolving document that can be updated and
  reinterpreted over time

6
Focus of DSM-5 Changes

• DSM-5 is striving to be more etiological-however
  disorders are caused by a complex interaction of
  multiple factors and various etiological factors
  can present with the same symptom pattern
• The diagnostic groups have been reshuffled
• There is a dimensional component to the
  categories to be further researched and covered
  in Section III of the DSM-5
• Emphasis was on developmental adjustment
  criteria
• New disorders were considered and older disorders
  were to be deleted
• Special emphasis was made for Substance/Medication
  Induced Disorders and specific classifications
  for them are listed for Schizophrenia Bipolar
  Depressive, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive
  Sleep-Wake Sexual Dysfunctions and
  Neurocognitive Disorders.

7
Definition of Mental Disorder

• A mental disorder is a syndrome characterized by
  clinically significant disturbance in an
  individual's cognition, emotion regulation, or
  behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the
  psychological, biological, or developmental
  processes underlying mental functioning. Mental
  disorders are usually associated with significant
  distress or disability in social, occupational,
  or other important activities. An expectable or
  culturally approved response to a common stressor
  or loss, such as death of a loved one, is not a
  mental disorder. Socially deviant behavior (e.g.,
  political, religious or sexual) and conflicts
  that are primarily between the individual and
  society are not mental disorders unless the
  deviance or conflict results from a dysfunction
  in the individual, as described above. 
• (American Psychiatric Association
  (2013). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
  Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition DSM-5. Arlington
  VA Author, p. 20.)

8
Why identify a mental disorder diagnosis?

• The diagnosis of a mental disorder should have
  clinical utility
• Helps to determine prognosis
• Helps in development of treatment plans
• Helps to give an indication of potential
  treatment outcomes
• A diagnosis of a mental disorder is not
  equivalent to a need for treatment. Need for
  treatment is a complex clinical decision that
  takes into consideration
• Symptom severity
• Symptom salience (presence of relevant symptom
  e.g., presence of suicidal ideation)
• The client's distress (mental pain) associated
  with the symptom(s)
• Disability related to the client's symptoms,
  risks, and benefits of available treatment
• Other factors such as mental symptoms
  complicating other illness

10
Obvious Changes in DSM-5 (1)

• The DSM-5 will discontinue the Multiaxial
  Diagnosis, No more Axis I,II, III, IV V-which
  means that Personality Disorders will now appear
  as diagnostic categories and there will be no
  more GAF score or listing of psychosocial
  stressor or contributing medical conditions
• The Multi-axial model will be replaced by
  Dimensional component to diagnostic categories

11
Obvious Changes in DSM-5 (2)

• Developmental adjustments will be added to
  criteria
• The goal has been to have the categories more
  sensitive to gender and cultural differences
• Diagnostic codes will change from numeric to
  alphanumeric e.g., Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
  will change from 300.3 to F42
• Diagnostic codes will change from
  numeric ICD-9-CM codes on September 30, 2014 to
  alphanumeric ICD-10-CM codes on October 1,
  2014 e.g., Obsessive Compulsive Disorder will
  change from 300.3 to F42
• They have done away with the NOS labeling and
  replaced it with Other Specified... or
   Unspecified 

12
What Replaces NOS?

• NOS is replace by either
• Other specified disorder or Unspecified disorder
  type are to be used if the diagnosis of a client
  is too uncertain because of
• 1. Behaviors which are associated with a
  classification are seen but there is uncertainty
  regarding the diagnostic category due to the fact
  that
• The client presents some symptoms of the category
  but a complete clinical impression is not clear
• The client responds to external stimuli with
  symptoms of psychosis, schizophrenia etc. but
  does not present with a full range of the
  symptoms need for a complete diagnosis
• 2. The client has been unwilling to provide
  information due to an unwillingness to be with
  the clinician or angry about being brought in to
  be seen or the there is too brief a period of
  time in which the client has been seen or the
  clinician is untrained in the classification
• Rules for use of Other Specific or Unspecified
• This designation can last only six months and
  after that a specific diagnostic category has to
  be determined for the diagnosis of the client.

13
Principle Diagnosis

• Principle Diagnosis is to be used when more than
  one diagnosis for an individual is given in most
  cases as the main focus of attention or
  treatment
• In an inpatient setting, the principle diagnosis
  is the condition established to be chiefly
  responsible for the admission of the individual
• In an outpatient setting, the principle diagnosis
  is the condition established as reason for visit
  responsible for care to be received 
• The principle diagnosis is often harder to
  identify when a substance/medication related
  disorder is accompanied by a non-substance-related
  diagnosis such as major depression since both
  may have contributed equally to the need for
  admission or treatment. 
• Principle diagnosis is listed first and the term
  "principle diagnosis" follows the diagnosis name
• Remaining disorders are listed in order of focus
  of attention and treatment 

14
Provisional Diagnosis

• Specifier "provisional" can be used when there
  is strong presumption that the full criteria will
  be met for a disorder but not enough information
  is available for a firm diagnosis. It must be
  recorded "provisional" following the diagnosis
  given

15
Respect for Age, Gender Culture in DSM-5

• Each diagnostic definition, where appropriate
  will incorporate
• 1. Developmental symptom manifestation
  regarding the age of client
• 2. Gender specific disorders
• 3. Cultural sensitivity in regards to certain
  behaviors

16
ICD Codes Relationship to DSM-5

• The World Health Organization (WHO) is revising
  International Classification of Diseases and
  Related Health Problems (ICD-10) so that by 2015,
  ICD-11 will come out
• DSM-5s Codes are only the ICD-CM codes
  (CMClinically Modified to fit a Nations
  cultural makeup)
• October 1, 2014, ICD-10 codes are in effect!

17
Which codes do we use?

• Codes used in clinical reports insurance or 3rd
  party billing are the ICD codes
• ICD codes are the only HIPAA approved codes in
  the USA
• The DSM system is simply a diagnostic aid to help
  us sort out what ICD-CM code that is applicable
  for our clients

18
Organization of IDC-10-CM Codes

• F01-F09 Mental disorders due to known
  physiological conditions
• F10-F19 Mental and behavioral disorders due to
  psychoactive substance use
• F20-F29 Schizophrenia, schizotypal, delusional,
  and other non-mood psychotic disorders
• F30-F39 Mood (affective) disorders
• F40-F48 Anxiety, dissociative, stress-related,
  somatoform and other nonpsychotic mental
  disorders
• F50-F59 Behavioral syndromes associated with
  physiological disturbances and physical factors
• F60-F69 Disorders of adult personality and
  behavior
• F70-F79 Intellectual disabilities
• F80-F89 Pervasive and specific developmental
  disorders
• F90-F98 Behavioral and emotional disorders with
  onset usually occurring in childhood and
  adolescence
• F99 Unspecified mental disorder

19
Descriptive Manual for ICD

• The WHO publishes what is called the Blue Book
  with descriptive explanations of their Mental,
  Behavioral Disorders. It is free from WHO and is
  available on their website
• The difference between the APA DSM system and the
  WHO ICD model is that the WHO model is free which
  make no one money

20

• Specific Changes
• Per Diagnostic Category
• in DSM-5

21
Neurodevelopmental Disorders

• 1. Intellectual Disability (Intellectual
  Developmental Disorder) no longer relies on IQ
  used as specifier because it is the adaptive
  functioning that determines levels of support
  required.
• IQ measures are less valid in the lower end of
  the IQ range
• Still accepted that people with intellectual
  disability have scores two standard deviations or
  more below the population mean, including a
  margin for error which is generally 5 points.
  Thus on tests with standard deviations of 15 and
  mean of 100 the score for mild would involve
  65-75 (705).
• 2. Asperger's Syndrome is lumped into Autism
  Spectrum since it is at the milder end of the
  Spectrum
• 3. Childhood disintegrative disorder, Rett's
  disorder and Pervasive developmental disorder not
  otherwise specified are also now incorporated

  one of the Criterion A symptoms must be
  delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized
  speech.
• 2. DSM-IV-TR subtypes of schizophrenia were

Steps to formulate an initial tentative diagnosis

1. Do a thorough Psychosocial History
2. Do a Mental Status Examination
3. Develop a Diagnosis using DSM-5

52

• STEP 1
• Complete Psychosocial History

53
First Establish - WHY NOW?

• You must be able to describe the presenting
  problem
• Listing specific symptoms and complaints which
  would justify diagnosis
• You must be able to list the duration of the
  symptoms or at least estimate the duration

54
Second Review clients mental health history

• Previous treatment for mental health problems?
• Hospitalization for psychiatric conditions?
• As child involved in family therapy?
• Treatment for substance abuse problems-outpatient
  or inpatient?

55
Third Determine if client is on any
psychotropic medications

• What medications?
• Level of prescription?
• Who prescribed medications?
• For what are the medications prescribed?

56
Fourth Review clients relevant medical history

• What is current overall physical health of
  client?
• When was last physical?
• Is there anything currently or in the past
  medically accounting for this current mental
  health complaint?

57
Fifth Review clients family history

• Do a genogram of the family
• Identify psychosocial stressors within the family
  structure
• Mental health and/or substance abuse history with
  in the family and if successfully treated

  good candidate for successful therapy to address
  the here and now mental health problem
• How motivated for therapy is client?
• How insightful to symptoms?
• How psychologically minded is client?
• How verbal and intelligent?

61
Ninth List liabilities client bringsto therapy

• Level of present social support system?
• Mandated for freely coming to therapy?
• Perceptual problems which could interfere e.g.
  hearing, vision, etc.
• Risk of decompensating (relapsing) if not treated

62
Tenth Rate Client on ACE Scale

• 2. Physical Abuse
• 3. Sexual Abuse
• Neglect
• 4. Emotional Neglect
• 5. Physical Neglect
• Household Dysfunction

• Concentration
• Activity level
• Thoughts
• Memory
• Judgment

• Appearance
• Consciousness
• Orientation to person, place time
• Speech
• Affect

65

• Step 3
• Formulate Tentative Diagnosis

66
Formulate Tentative Diagnosis

• You are ready to make a tentative Diagnosis using
  DSM-5 Including
• Principle Diagnoses
• Any Provisional Diagnosis
• Any relevant Other Conditions That May Be a Focus
  of Clinical Attention

67
DSM-5 Single Diagnosis

• Use DSM-5 Most Appropriate Classification
• Include relevant rule-out diagnoses
• Compare clients symptoms lists with those
  contained in DSM-5 to get to most appropriate
  tentative Principle diagnosis
• Then list any and all secondary diagnosis if the
  clients symptoms match up for such
  classifications
• Also list Provisional diagnoses if the clients
  presentation allows for these additional
  diagnoses
• List all relevant V (T,Z) Code for Other
  Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical
  Attention
• Each must be listed with number description
  just like the principal diagnosis

68
It is important to remember

• The Diagnosis given a client is tentative
  dependent on gathering more data in future
  anticipated treatment
• Diagnoses can ALWAYS be changed to address
  changes with the individuals presentation
  functioning

69
Application with Real Case

• You will now break into groups of 4 or 5 members
  to work on the following five cases and be
  prepared to give your complete DSM-5 Model
  Diagnosis for each case

70
Best of Luck in Using the DSM-5

• My hope is that this helped to get you ready to
  use the DSM-5 to show your competency and
  clinical expertise in ways you have never been
  able to do given the limitation of the
  deficiencies of the previous DSM models.
