DSM-5-TR: Other Specified Schizophrenia
Updates To The DSM-5-TR
Duration: 00:01:18
Story:
Sometimes it only takes one word to change the meaning of an entire idea being expressed. This was the case with the DSM-5 entry for Other Specified Schizophrenia, where the use of the word "partner" was interpreted in a number of ways by clinicians, causing inconsistent diagnoses. For the publishing of the DSM-5-TR, the word was replaced to create better clarity and understanding.
