The DSM-5-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision) is a comprehensive clinical reference for the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders. Widely used across psychiatry, psychology, and broader healthcare, it provides a shared clinical language to support consistent assessment, documentation, and communication across care settings.
This updated edition incorporates fully revised diagnostic text and references, reflecting the latest scientific evidence. It includes updated diagnostic criteria and ICD-10-CM codes, with more than 70 modified criteria sets and over 50 coding updates, particularly in areas such as substance intoxication and withdrawal. The introduction of Prolonged Grief Disorder expands diagnostic coverage, while new codes for suicidal behaviour enable clinicians across disciplines to identify and monitor risk without requiring an additional diagnosis.
Content has been enhanced with expanded guidance on prevalence, development and course, risk and prognostic factors, cultural considerations, diagnostic markers, and differential diagnosis. The manual also integrates considerations of racism and discrimination and their impact on mental health, supporting more informed and equitable care.
Developed by over 200 subject matter experts, DSM-5-TR is designed for use across inpatient, outpatient, primary care, and specialist settings. It remains a foundational resource for accurate diagnosis, clinical decision-making, research, and multidisciplinary care.
