Revisions and Rationales ___________________________________

(selected for relevance to geriatrics)
___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________

Schizophrenia
(Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders) ___________________________________
 Elimination of special treatment of bizarre
delusions and “special” hallucinations in Criterion ___________________________________
A (characteristic symptoms)
___________________________________
• Rationale: This was removed due to the poor reliability
in distinguishing bizarre from non-bizarre delusions.
___________________________________
 At least one of two required symptoms to meet
Criterion A must be delusions, hallucinations, or ___________________________________
disorganized speech
• Rationale: This will improve reliability and prevent ___________________________________
individuals with only negative symptoms and catatonia
from being diagnosed with schizophrenia. ___________________________________

7th Spring Conference–FOSTERING MENTAL WELLNESS IN OLDER ADULTS-Arizona Geriatrics Society

Schizophrenia (cont’d) ___________________________________


 Deletion of specific subtypes ___________________________________
• Rationale: DSM-IV’s subtypes were shown to
have very poor reliability and validity. They ___________________________________
also failed to differentiate from one another
based on treatment response and course. ___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
Copyright © 2013. American Psychiatric Association.

Schizoaffective Disorder ___________________________________


 Now based on the lifetime (rather than ___________________________________
episodic) duration of illness in which the mood
and psychotic symptoms described in Criterion ___________________________________
A occur
• Rationale: The criteria in DSM-IV have demonstrated ___________________________________
poor reliability and clinical utility, in part because the
language in DSM-IV regarding the duration of illness ___________________________________
is ambiguous. This revision is consistent with the
language in schizophrenia and in mood episodes,
which explicitly describe a longitudinal rather than ___________________________________
episodic course. Similarly applying a longitudinal
course to schizoaffective disorder will aid in its ___________________________________
differential diagnosis from these related disorders.
Copyright © 2013. American Psychiatric Association.

Catatonia ___________________________________
 Now exists as a specifier for
neurodevelopmental, psychotic, mood and ___________________________________
other mental disorders; as well as for other
medical disorders (catatonia due to another ___________________________________
medical condition)
___________________________________
• Rationale: As represented in DSM-IV, catatonia was
under-recognized, particularly in psychiatric ___________________________________
disorders other than schizophrenia and psychotic
mood disorders and in other medical disorders. It
was also apparent that inclusion of catatonia as a ___________________________________
specific condition that can apply more broadly across
the manual may help address gaps in the treatment ___________________________________
of catatonia.

Mania and Hypomania


(Bipolar and Related Disorders) ___________________________________
 Inclusion of increased energy/activity as a ___________________________________
Criterion A symptom of mania and
hypomania ___________________________________
• Rationale: This will make explicit the
requirement of increased energy/activity in ___________________________________
order to diagnose bipolar I or II disorder (which
is not required under DSM-IV) and will improve ___________________________________
the specificity of the diagnosis.
___________________________________
___________________________________
Copyright © 2013. American Psychiatric Association.

Mania and Hypomania


___________________________________
 “With anxious distress” also added as a ___________________________________
specifier for bipolar (and depressive)
disorders ___________________________________
• Rationale: The co-occurrence of anxiety with
depression is one of the most commonly seen ___________________________________
comorbidities in clinical populations. Addition
of this specifier will allow clinicians to indicate ___________________________________
the presence of anxiety symptoms that are not
reflected in the core criteria for depression ___________________________________
and mania but nonetheless may be
meaningful for treatment planning. ___________________________________
Copyright © 2013. American Psychiatric Association.

Bereavement Exclusion
(Depressive Disorders) ___________________________________
 Eliminated from major depressive episode ___________________________________
(MDE)
• Rationale: In some individuals, major loss – ___________________________________
including but not limited to loss of a loved one –
can lead to MDE or exacerbate pre-existing ___________________________________
depression. Individuals experiencing both
conditions can benefit from treatment but are ___________________________________
excluded from diagnosis under DSM-IV. Further,
the 2-month timeframe required by DSM-IV
suggests an arbitrary time course to ___________________________________
bereavement that is inaccurate. Lifting the
exclusion alleviates both of these problems. ___________________________________

Hoarding Disorder
(Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders) ___________________________________
 Newly added to DSM-5 ___________________________________
• Rationale: Clinically significant hoarding is
prevalent and can have direct and indirect ___________________________________
consequences on the health and safety of
patients as well as that of others (e.g., ___________________________________
dependents, neighbors). Inclusion will
increase the chances of these individuals ___________________________________
receiving treatment.
___________________________________
___________________________________
Copyright © 2013. American Psychiatric Association.

Substance Use Disorder (SUD)


(Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders) ___________________________________
 Consolidate substance abuse with substance ___________________________________
dependence into a single disorder called
substance use disorder ___________________________________
• Rationale: Dependence is a misunderstood term
that has negative connotations when in fact it ___________________________________
refers to normal patterns of withdrawal that can
occur from the proper use of medications. ___________________________________
___________________________________
___________________________________
Copyright © 2013. American Psychiatric Association.

Substance Use Disorder (cont’d) ___________________________________


• Rationale continued: Further, studies from clinical ___________________________________
and general populations indicate DSM-IV
substance abuse and dependence criteria
represent a singular phenomenon but ___________________________________
encompassing different levels of severity. Mild
SUD (2-3/11 criteria) will be coded with the DSM- ___________________________________
IV substance abuse code to reflect the intent but
not reality of considering substance abuse less ___________________________________
severe than substance dependence. Moderate
(4-5/11 criteria) and severe (6+/11 criteria) SUD
will be coded with DSM-IV substance ___________________________________
dependence codes.

7th Spring Conference–FOSTERING MENTAL WELLNESS IN OLDER ADULTS-Arizona Geriatrics Society

Substance Use Disorder (cont’d) ___________________________________


 Removal of one of the DSM-IV abuse criteria ___________________________________
(legal consequences), and addition of a new
criterion for SUD diagnosis (craving or strong ___________________________________
desire or urge to use the substance)
• Rationales: The legal criterion had poor clinical ___________________________________
utility and its relevance to patients varied based
on local laws and enforcement of those laws. ___________________________________
Addition of craving as a symptom is highly
validated, based on clinical trials and brain ___________________________________
imaging data, and may hold potential as a future
biomarker for the diagnosis of SUD.
___________________________________
Copyright © 2013. American Psychiatric Association.

Neurocognitive Disorders (NCD) ___________________________________


 Use of the term major neurocognitive ___________________________________
disorder rather than dementia
• Rationale: The term dementia is usually ___________________________________
associated with neurodegenerative conditions
occurring in older populations, as in ___________________________________
Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy Body dementia.
However, DSM-5’s major NCD refers to a ___________________________________
broad range of possible etiologies that can
occur even in young adults, such as major ___________________________________
NCD due to traumatic brain injury or HIV
infection. ___________________________________
Copyright © 2013. American Psychiatric Association.

Mild NCD ___________________________________


 Newly added to DSM-5 ___________________________________
• Rationale: Patients with mild NCD are
frequently seen in clinics and in research ___________________________________
settings, and there is widespread consensus
throughout the field that these populations can ___________________________________
benefit from diagnosis and treatment. The
clinical utility of such a diagnosis also is highly ___________________________________
supported in the literature.

NCD Subtypes ___________________________________


 Elevation of DSM-IV etiological subtypes ___________________________________
(e.g., frontotemporal dementia, dementia
with Lewy Bodies) to separate, independent ___________________________________
disorders
• Rationale: Separate criteria for 10 etiologies were ___________________________________
developed based on clinical need and to reflect
the best clinical practices endorsed by ___________________________________
neurologists, neuropsychiatrists, and others who
routinely work with these patients. Etiological ___________________________________
criteria provide clarity for clinicians, more
accurate diagnoses for patients, and support for
researchers in uncovering potential biomarkers ___________________________________
that may inform diagnosis in the future.

Personality Disorders (PD) ___________________________________


 All 10 DSM-IV PDs remain intact in Section II. However,
Section III contains an alternate, trait-based approach to ___________________________________
assessing personality and PDs that includes specific PD
types (e.g., borderline, antisocial) but allows for the rating of
traits and facets, facilitating diagnosis in individuals who ___________________________________
meet core criteria for a PD but do not otherwise meet a
specific PD type. ___________________________________
• Rationale: A hybrid model with both dimensional and
categorical approaches is included in Section III. This ___________________________________
model calls for evaluation of impairments in personality
functioning and characterizes five broad areas of
pathological personality traits. It identifies six PD types, ___________________________________
each defined by both impairments in personality functioning
and a pattern of impairments in personality traits. We will
evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the model, ___________________________________
leading to greater understanding of the causes and
treatments of PDs.

outcome for most patients ___________________________________
 In DSM-5, these include: ___________________________________
• Level 1 and Level 2 Cross-Cutting Symptom
assessments ___________________________________
• Diagnosis-specific Severity ratings
• Disability assessment
___________________________________

Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure ___________________________________


 Referred to as “cross-cutting” because it calls ___________________________________
attention to symptoms relevant to most, if not
all, psychiatric disorders (e.g., mood, anxiety,
sleep disturbance, substance use, suicide) ___________________________________
• Self-administered by patient ___________________________________
• 13 symptom domains for adults
• 12 symptoms domains for children 11+, parents ___________________________________
of children 6+
• Brief—1-3 questions per symptom domain
___________________________________
• Screen for important symptoms, not for specific ___________________________________
diagnoses (i.e., “cross-cutting”)

Level 2 Cross-Cutting Measure ___________________________________


 Completed when the corresponding Level 1 ___________________________________
item is endorsed at the level of “mild” or
greater (for most but not all items, i.e. ___________________________________
psychosis and inattention)
• Gives a more detailed assessment of the ___________________________________
symptom domain
• Largely based on pre-existing, well-validated
___________________________________
measures, including the SNAP-IV
(inattention); NIDA-modified ASSIST ___________________________________
(substance use); and PROMIS ® forms
(anger, sleep disturbance, emotional distress) ___________________________________

Definition of a Mental Disorder


___________________________________
 The diagnosis of a mental disorder ___________________________________
should have clinical utility: it should help
clinicians to determine prognosis, ___________________________________
treatment plans, and potential treatment ___________________________________
outcomes for their patients. However, the
diagnosis of a mental disorder is not ___________________________________
equivalent to a need for treatment.

 Until incontrovertible etiological or
pathophysiological mechanisms are ___________________________________
identified to fully validate specific
disorders or disorder spectra, the most ___________________________________
important standard for the DSM-5 ___________________________________
disorder criteria will be their clinical utility.

New DSM-5 Diagnoses Code Issues ___________________________________


 When using DSM-5 diagnoses, clinicians ___________________________________
should note the name of the disorder next to
___________________________________
the code listing, since no distinct code yet
exists for some diagnoses. ___________________________________
 The APA has been working with insurers to ___________________________________
ensure that DSM-5 diagnoses are recognized
as distinct entities. ___________________________________

John Stuart Mill ___________________________________


The tendency has always been strong to ___________________________________
believe that whatever received a name must
be an entity or being, having an independent ___________________________________
existence of its own. And if no real entity
answering to the name could be found, men ___________________________________
did not for that reason suppose that none
existed, but imagined that it was something ___________________________________
particularly abstruse and mysterious.
