DSM-5-TR: Major Depressive Disorder
Updates To The DSM-5-TR
Duration: 00:01:22
Story:
An issue that was commonly reported by those working with the DSM-5 involved situations where a client exhibited signs of Major Depressive Disorder but also meets the criteria for a psychotic disorder. With schizoaffective disorder being the only psychotic disorder that includes mood episodes as a criterion, it was difficult to know what to do when Schizoaffective disorder was ruled out, but other psychotic diagnoses applied. For DSM-5-TR, major revisions in text and classifications were made to give the opportunity to more accurately portray these situations within the confines of the manual.
