US EditionRadical Changes Could Be Coming to ‘Psychiatry’s Bible’
- On Wednesday, the American Psychiatric Association announced it is radically reconceptualizing the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in five studies published in The American Journal of Psychiatry.
- Longstanding critiques and scientific advances prompted the APA to rethink the DSM-5, as past print formats limited timely updates and failed to incorporate biological and contextual factors, Dr. Nitin Gogtay said.
- The APA will invite people with lived experience to join committees and solicit feedback from clinicians and advocates, while leaders cite biomarkers like elevated CRP in major depression.
- The APA said it is already talking with insurance companies as more than half of people will experience psychiatric disorders, impacting care, billing, and insurance for patients and clinicians.
- Keeping the next edition primarily online will allow the American Psychiatric Association to update it regularly, though there is no timeline and diagnoses could change in the near future.
