The publication of DSM-5-TR provides an update to the diagnostic classification and codes for DSM-5 mental disorders and clarifies diagnostic criteria for more than 70 disorders.
For quick reference, clinicians will find this handy little manual useful, containing only the DSM-5-TR classifications (i.e., the complete list of disorders, subtypes, specifiers, and diagnostic codes found in the DSM-5-TR chapters), an updated section explaining how to use the manual, and the most recent DSM-5 diagnostic criteria set and coding notes. A Desk Reference for diagnostic criteria from the DSM-5-TR is meant to be used in conjunction with the fully updated DSM-5-TR.
Appropriate use of the desk reference requires a thorough understanding of the descriptions of the disorders accompanying the diagnostic set. The DSM-5-TR text descriptions have been comprehensively updated to reflect the most recent literature and the influence of culture, racism, and discrimination against mental illness.
