DSM is short for ‘Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.’ This was first developed in 1952, by the American Psychiatric Association, and since then, there have been 5 different editions. The DSM alone however shouldn’t be used to diagnose, or categorise a mental disorder; this should instead be done by a trained professional. ]]> 2017-06-16 04:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lilly_heywood1/eec99n5fzqdx/wish/176624415 Categories of Mental Disorders lilly_heywood1 https://padlet.com/lilly_heywood1/eec99n5fzqdx/wish/176624506
