The DSM, or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is a comprehensive guide used by mental health professionals to diagnose and classify mental health conditions. It provides standardized criteria and descriptions for various disorders, helping clinicians make informed decisions about treatment and care.
First published in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect new research and understanding of mental health. The latest edition, the DSM-5, includes a wide range of disorders, from anxiety and depression to more complex conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
