DSM-­‐5  Development    

Towards  DSM-­‐5    

•  Publica5on  of  the  fi>h  edi5on  of  Diagnos5c  and  Sta5s5cal  Manual  of  Mental  Disorders  (DSM-­‐5)  occurred  in  May  2013.  

   •  The  review  and  revision  process  for  DSM-­‐5  has  taken  12  years.    •  Field  trials  were  conducted  in  large  academic  seMngs  and  select  

clinical  prac5ces  around  the  world  (2010  -­‐  2012).

American  Psychiatric  Associa5on  

DSM-­‐5  Development    

1.4  Defini5on  of  a  Mental  Disorder  Proposed  Features  of  a  Mental  Disorder:  A.    A  behavioural  or  psychological  syndrome  or  paXern  that  occurs  in  an  individual    B.    That  reflects  an  underlying  psychobiological  dysfunc5on      C.    The  consequences  of  which  are  clinically  significant  distress  (e.g.,  a  painful  symptom)  or  disability  (i.e.,  impairment  in  one  or  more  important  areas  of  func5oning)      D.    Must  not  be  merely  an  expectable  response  to  common  stressors  and  losses  (for  example,  the  loss  of  a  loved  one)  or  a  culturally  sanc5oned  response  to  a  par5cular  event  (for  example,  trance  states  in  religious  rituals)    E.    That  is  not  primarily  a  result  of  social  deviance  or  conflicts  with  society        

American  Psychiatric  Associa5on  

DSM-­‐5  Development    Other  Considera.ons:  

 F.    That  has  diagnos5c  validity  on  the  basis  of  various  diagnos5c  validators  (e.g.,  prognos5c  significance,  psychobiological  disrup5on,  response  to  treatment)    G.    That  has  clinical  u5lity  (for  example,  contributes  to  beXer  conceptualiza5on  of  diagnoses,  or  to  beXer  assessment  and  treatment)      H.    No  defini5on  perfectly  specifies  precise  boundaries  for  the  concept  of  either  “medical  disorder”  or  "mental/psychiatric  disorder”    I.    Diagnos5c  validators  and  clinical  u5lity  should  help  differen5ate  a  disorder  from  diagnos5c  “nearest  neighbours”    J.    When  considering  whether  to  add  a  mental/psychiatric  condi5on  to  the  nomenclature,  or  delete  a  mental/psychiatric  condi5on  from  the  nomenclature,  poten5al  benefits  (for  example,  provide  beXer  pa5ent  care,  s5mulate  new  research)  should  outweigh  poten5al  harms  (for  example,  hurt  par5cular  individuals,  be  subject  to  misuse)

American  Psychiatric  Associa5on  

DSM-­‐5  Development  2.1  Increasing  the  Developmental  Focus  in  DSM-­‐V  (Pine  et  al)    •     DSM-­‐III,  DSM-­‐III-­‐R  and  DSM-­‐IV  have  limited  developmental  focus.  

i.  Limited  to  age  of  onset  (thus  producing  chapter  on  Disorders  Usually  first  Diagnosed  in  childhood).  

ii. Limited  to  some  diagnos5c  differences  for  “children.”  iii. No  real  a  developmental  perspec5ve.  

American  Psychiatric  Associa5on  

DSM-­‐5  Development  2.1  Increasing  the  Developmental  Focus  in  DSM-­‐V  (Pine  et  al)  •  Last  decade  has  seen  explosion  of  developmental  research.  

1.  Clinical  presenta5on  differs  by  developmental  stage  2.  Natural  history  of  mental  disorders  

i.  Crea5on  of  early  risk  factors  ii.  Emphasis  on  preven5on  of  acute  and  chronic  condi5ons  

3.  Developmental  Psychopathology  as  dominant  model  i.  Devia5ons  from  typical  matura5on  ii.  Failure  to  overcome  transient  disturbance  

4.  Age  of  onset:  i.  Early  manifesta5on  of  psychopathology  tends  to  be  

more  severe  and  problema5c  ii.  Need  for  effec5ve  early  interven5on  

       

American  Psychiatric  Associa5on  

DSM-­‐5  Development  2.1  Increasing  the  Developmental  Focus  in  DSM-­‐V  (Pine  et  al)  •  Sugges5ons  for  DSM-­‐5  

1.  Provide  developmental  norms  for  disorders  

2.  Provide  data  on  natural  course  for  disorders  3.  Highlight  associated  features  that  manifest  at  specific        

points  of  development  

4.  Remove  separate  sec5on  on  ‘childhood  onset’  and  incorporate  developmental  thinking  into  all  disorders?  

5.  Provide  clear  ‘age-­‐related  manifesta5ons’  for  disorders  

6.  Provide  ‘age-­‐related  subtypes’  for  disorders

Must  meet  criteria  A,B,C  and  D:  A.        Persistent  deficits  in  social  communicaDon  and  social  interacDon  across  contexts,  as  manifested  by  the  following,  currently  or  by  history:    

1.          Deficits  in  social-­‐emoDonal  reciprocity;  ranging  from  abnormal  social  approach  and  failure  of  normal  back  and  forth  conversa5on  through  reduced  sharing  of  interests,  emo5ons  or  affect,  to  failure  to  ini5ate  or  respond  to  social  interac5ons.    2.          Deficits  in  nonverbal  communicaDve  behaviours  used  for  social  interacDon;  ranging  from  poorly  integrated-­‐  verbal  and  nonverbal  communica5on,  through  abnormali5es  in  eye  contact  and  body-­‐language,  or  deficits  in  understanding  and  use  of  gestures,  to  total  lack  of  facial  expression  and  nonverbal  communica5on.    3.          Deficits  in  developing,  maintaining  and  understanding  relaDonships;  ranging  from  difficul5es  adjus5ng  behaviour  to  suit  different  social  contexts  through  difficul5es  in  sharing  imagina5ve  play  and    in  making  friends    to  an  apparent  absence  of  interest  in  peers.

 B.        Restricted,  repeDDve  paXerns  of  behaviour,  interests,  or  acDviDes  as  manifested  by  at  least  two  of    the  following,  currently  or  by  history:    

1.          Stereotyped  or  repeDDve  motor  movements,  use  of  objects,  or  speech;  (such  as  simple  motor  stereotypies,  lining  up  toys  or  flipping  objects,  echolalia,  or  idiosyncra5c  phrases).      

 2.          Insistence  on  sameness,  inflexible  adherence  to  rouDnes,  or  ritualized  paXerns  of  verbal  or  nonverbal  behaviour;  (extreme  distress  at  small  changes,  difficul5es  with  transi5ons,  rigid  thinking  paXerns,  gree5ng  rituals,  need  to  take  same  route  or  eat  same  food  ever  day).  

 B.        Restricted,  repeDDve  paXerns  of  behaviour,  interests,  or  acDviDes  as  manifested  by  at  least  two  of    the  following:      

3.          Highly  restricted,  fixated  interests  that  are  abnormal  in  intensity  or  focus;  (such  as  strong  aXachment  to  or  preoccupa5on  with  unusual  objects,  excessively  circumscribed  or  persevera5ve  interests).      4.          Hyper-­‐or  hypo-­‐reacDvity  to  sensory  input  or  unusual  interest  in  sensory  aspects  of  environment;  (such  as  apparent  indifference  to  pain/temperature  adverse  response  to  specific  sounds  or  textures,  excessive  smelling  or  touching  of  objects,  visual    fascina5on  with  lights  or  movement).        

C.        Symptoms  must  be  present  in  early  childhood  (but  may  not  become  fully  manifest  un5l  social  demands  exceed  limited  capaci5es,  or  may  be  masked  by  learned  strategies  in  later  life).    D.          Symptoms  together  cause  clinically  significant  impairment  in  social,  occupaDonal,  or  other  important  areas  of  funcDoning.

ASD  Severity  Level   Social  CommunicaDon   Restricted  interests  &  RepeDDve  behaviours  

Level  3      ‘Requiring  very  substan5al  support’    

Severe  deficits  in  verbal  and  nonverbal  social  communica5on  skills  cause  severe  impairments  in  func5oning;  very  limited  ini5a5on  of  social  interac5ons  and  minimal  response  to  social  overtures  from  others.      

Preoccupa5ons,  fixated  rituals  and/or  repe55ve  behaviours  markedly  interfere  with  func5oning  in  all  spheres.    Marked  distress  when  rituals  or  rou5nes  are  interrupted;  very  difficult  to  redirect  from  fixated  interest  or  returns  to  it  quickly.  

Level  2      ‘Requiring  substan5al  support’    

Marked  deficits  in  verbal  and  nonverbal  social  communica5on  skills;  social  impairments  apparent  even  with  supports  in  place;  limited  ini5a5on  of  social  interac5ons  and  reduced  or  abnormal  response  to  social  overtures  from  others.  

RRBs  and/or  preoccupa5ons  or  fixated  interests  appear  frequently  enough  to  be  obvious  to  the  casual  observer  and  interfere  with  func5oning  in  a  variety  of  contexts.    Distress  or  frustra5on  is  apparent  when  RRB’s  are  interrupted;  difficult  to  redirect  from  fixated  interest.  

Level  1    ‘Requiring  support’    

Without  supports  in  place,  deficits  in  social  communica5on  cause  no5ceable  impairments.    Has  difficulty  ini5a5ng  social  interac5ons  and  demonstrates  clear  examples  of  atypical  or  unsuccessful  responses  to  social  overtures  of  others.    May  appear  to  have  decreased  interest  in  social  interac5ons.      

Rituals  and  repe55ve  behaviours  (RRB’s)  cause  significant  interference  with  func5oning  in  one  or  more  contexts.    Resists  aXempts  by  others  to  interrupt  RRB’s  or  to  be  redirected  from  fixated  interest.

1.  Deficits  in  using  communica5on  for  social  purposes,  such  as  gree5ng  and  sharing  informa5on,  in  a  manner  that  is  appropriate  for  the  social  context.    

2.  Impairment  of  the  ability  to  change  communica5on  to  match  context  or  the  needs  of  listener,  such  as  speaking  differently  in  a  classroom  than  on  a  playground,  talking  differently  to  a  child  than  to  an  adult,  and  avoiding  use  of  overly  formal  language.  

3.  Difficul5es  following  rules  for  conversa5on  and  storytelling,  such  as  taking  turns  in  conversa5on,  rephrasing  when  misunderstood,  and  knowing  how  to  use  verbal  and  nonverbal  signals  to  regulate  interac5on.
