DSM-5 DIAGNOSTIC CATEGORIES
I - Neurodevelopmental Disorders
1) Intellectual Disabilities 4) Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder
2) Communication Disorders 5) Specific Learning Disorders
3) Autism Spectrum Disorders 6) Motor Disorder
Intellectual Disability
Intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) is characterized by deficits in general
mental abilities
The deficits result in impairments of adaptive functioning
o Conceptual
o Practical
o Social
Onset of intellectual and adaptive deficits during the developmental period.
Communication Disorders
Language disorder, speech sound disorder, social (pragmatic) communication disorder
characterized by deficits in the development and use of language, speech, and social
communication, respectively.
Childhood-onset fluency disorder (stuttering) characterized by disturbances of the normal
fluency and motor production of speech
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across
multiple contexts deficits in social reciprocity, nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social
interaction, and skills in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships.
Presence of restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities.
ADHD
Defined by impairing levels of inattention, disorganization, and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity.
Inattention and disorganization entail inability to stay on task, seeming not to listen, and losing
materials, at levels that are inconsistent with age or developmental level.
Hyperactivity-impulsivity entails overactivity, fidgeting, inability to stay seated, intruding into
other people's activities, and inability to wait4symptoms that are excessive for age or
developmental level.
Specific Learning Disorder
Diagnosed when there are specific deficits in an individual's ability to perceive or process
information efficiently and accurately.
Characterized by persistent and impairing difficulties with learning foundational academic skills in
reading, writing, and/or math.
First manifests during the years of formal schooling
Motor Disorder
Developmental coordination disorder
o Deficits in the acquisition and execution of coordinated motor skills and is manifested by
clumsiness and slowness or inaccuracy of performance of motor skills that cause
interference with activities of daily living.
Stereotypic movement disorder
o Repetitive, seemingly driven, and apparently purposeless motor behaviors
Tic disorders
o A tic is a sudden, rapid, recurrent, nonrhythmic motor movement or vocalization
o Onset is before age 18 years.
o The disturbance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance or another
medical condition

o Tourette’s Disorder
Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics have been present at some time
during the illness, although not necessarily concurrently.
o Persistent (Chronic) Motor or Vocal Tic Disorder
Single or multiple motor or vocal tics have been present during the illness, but
not both motor and vocal.
II- Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders
A spectrum as it applies to mental disorder is a range of linked conditions, sometimes also
extending to include singular symptoms and traits
1) schizotypal personality disorder
2) schizophrenia
3) delusional disorder
4) schizoaffective disorder
5) schizophreniform disorder
Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits
Cognitive or perceptual distortions
Eccentricities of behavior usually beginning by early adulthood but in some cases first
becoming apparent in childhood and adolescence.
Abnormalities of beliefs, thinking, and perception are below the threshold for the diagnosis of a
psychotic disorder.
Delusional Disorder
Characterized by at least 1 month of delusions but no other psychotic symptoms.
The person has not met criteria for schizophrenia
Functional impairment within the specific impact of the delusion
The duration of manic and depressive episodes have been brief relative to the duration of
delusion.
Brief Psychotic Disorder
One or more of the symptoms of schizophrenia that lasts more than 1 day and remits by 1 month
Schizophreniform Disorder
Characterized by a symptomatic presentation equivalent to that of schizophrenia except for its
duration (less than 6 months) and the absence of a requirement for a decline in functioning.
Schizophrenia
Two or more of the following symptoms for at least 1 month; one symptom should be either 1, 2,
or 3:
1) delusions
2) hallucinations
3) disorganized speech
4) disorganized (or catatonic) behavior
5) negative symptoms (diminished motivation or emotional expression)
Functional impairment in one or more areas
Signs of disorder for at least 6 months
Schizoaffective Disorder
A mood episode and the active-phase symptoms of schizophrenia occur together and were
preceded or are followed by at least 2 weeks of delusions or hallucinations without prominent
mood symptoms.
III - Bipolar Disorders
1) Bipolar I
2) Bipolar II
3) Cyclothymic Disorder
Bipolar I
At least one episode of mania or mixed episode in DSM-IV-TR
More severe
