DSM-5-TR: Bipolar II Disorder
Updates To The DSM-5-TR
Duration: 00:03:06
Story:
While making revisions in the DSM-5-TR, the committee had to consider a number of areas within the definition of "Bipolar II Disorder". Sections such as Criterion C, the Mood-Congruent/Mood Incongruent Psychotic Features specifier, and the Severity Specifiers, were altered to provide greater clarity and detail, while also allowing for a greater understanding of the specific nature of the client's symptoms. The purpose of these changes is to allow clinicians to identify elements of the disorder more effectively.
