DSM 5

They are finally getting ready to print the new DSM 5 within the next year or so.  It will be a pain to relearn and implement changes around America but it will distribute diagnosis a lot more effectively and be better for the younger generation of people to have equal opportunities.  I just spent the past few hours reading the revisions and found some interesting diagnosis they are completely adding to our psychiatric field of medicine...

Such As:

Late Language Emergence

Voice Disorder

Hoarding Disorder
