The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) is the most comprehensive, current, and authoritative resource available for mental health clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals. Published as an updated revision of DSM-5 (2013), DSM-5-TR incorporates the latest scientific research, clinical insights, and diagnostic updates to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of mental disorders.
DSM-5-TR includes a fully revised text and updated references for every disorder, ensuring that clinicians have access to the most recent evidence-based information. Diagnostic criteria and ICD-10-CM codes have been updated to reflect changes implemented since 2013, making this manual highly relevant for modern clinical practice, documentation, and insurance coding. One of the most significant updates is the addition of Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) to Section II, officially recognizing it as a diagnosable mental disorder.
Developed with contributions from more than 200 subject matter experts, DSM-5-TR reflects a broad and inclusive range of professional perspectives. The manual now features over 70 modified diagnostic criteria sets, offering clearer explanations and helpful clarifications that improve diagnostic accuracy. Each disorder includes updated sections on associated features, prevalence, development and course, risk and prognostic factors, cultural considerations, diagnostic markers, suicide risk, and differential diagnosis.
A major advancement in DSM-5-TR is the introduction of new codes to identify and monitor suicidal behavior. These codes can be used by clinicians across all disciplines and do not require the presence of another mental disorder diagnosis. This change supports better tracking, early intervention, and prevention efforts related to suicide risk.
The manual also integrates important discussions on the impact of racism, discrimination, and social stressors on mental health, acknowledging how cultural and societal factors influence symptom expression, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes. Additionally, the Diagnostic Classification has been updated and redesigned for greater clarity and usability.
DSM-5-TR is now presented in a four-color format, enhancing readability and navigation. To protect against unlicensed and counterfeit copies, each printed book includes a fiber-coded security sticker. By scanning this sticker, users can verify the authenticity of their copy, which will redirect them to the official APA Publishing website.
This essential resource is not only valuable for psychiatrists but also for psychologists, counselors, nurses, occupational and rehabilitation therapists, social workers, primary care physicians, and forensic and legal professionals. By providing a common diagnostic language and standardized criteria, DSM-5-TR facilitates consistent and objective assessment across diverse clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, private practice, consultation-liaison, and primary care environments.
Overall, DSM-5-TR stands as the most definitive and up-to-date manual for the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders, supporting high-quality clinical care and advancing mental health research worldwide.
