New Disorders in DSM-5
DSM-5 introduced a number of new disordersnot merely revisions orregroupings of
existing disorders (as we'll see in the next section), but disorders that a least to some
extent cover problems that were not covered by any disorders in the previous edition of the
manual. Among them
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD; discussed in more detail in a box later in this
chapter), which is essentially a severe version of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) including
a combination of at least 5 emotional and physical sy1ptoms occurring in most menstrual
cycles during the last year that cause clinicaly significant distress or interfere with work,
school, social life, or relationships with others (American Psychiatric Association, 2013;
Paris, 2013b, Wakefield, 2013a; Regier, Kuhl, et al., 2013).
Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), which is essentially frequent temper
tantrums in children 6-18 years old (at least 3 tantrums per week over the course of
a year) that are clearly below the expected level of maturity and occur in at least two
settings (e.g, home, school, or with friends) along with irritable or angry mood between
the temper tantrums. The cteation of this new diagnosis was prompted by the drastic
increase in the diagnosis (and possible overdiagnosis and overmedication) of bipolar
disorder in children in recent decades (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Pierre
2013; Copeland etal., 2013, Frances &t Bastra, 2013).
Binge eating disorder (BED), which resembles the part of bulimia nervosa in which the
person overindulges on food but lacks the part in which the person tries to sub1ract
the calories through compensatory behaviors like excessive exercise. Binges must
take place at least once per week for three months and be accompanied by a lack
of control over the eating as well as other symptoms like rapid eating, eating until
overly full, eating alone to avoid embarrassment, and feelings of guilt or depression
afterward (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Ornstein et al., 2013; Moran,
2013b, Stice et al., 2013).
Mild Neurocognitive Disorder (mild NCD), which is essentially a less intense version of
major neurocognitive problems like dementia and amnesia. It requires modest decline in
such cognitive functions as memory, language use, attention, or executive function, but
nothing serious enough that it interferes with the ability to live independently (American
Psychiatric Association, 2013; Blazer, 2013; Frances, 2013a).
Somatic symptom disorder (SSD), which involves a combination of at least one
significantly disruptive bodily (somatic) symptom with excessive focus on that
symptom (or symptoms) that involves perceiving it as more serious than it really
is, experiencing high anxiety about it, or devoting excessive time and energy to it
(American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Frances &r Chapman, 2013; Frances, 2012;
2013d).
Hoarding disorder, in which the person has continuing dilficulty discarding possessions
no matter how objectively worthless they are, and as a result lives in a congested
or cluttered home and experiences impairment in important areas such as work,
socialization, or safety. In past DSMs, the diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder
may have been considered for hoarders, but their behavior often matched OCD criteria
imperlectly, and with DSM-5, the criteria for hoarding are now distinct (American
Psychiatric Association, 2013; Regier, Kuhl, et al., 2013, Greenberg, 2013).
