Abstract

DSM-5 self-exam will help you master the new manual.DSM-5 self-exam will help you master the new manual.
An important departure from past diagnostic manuals is that in DSM-5, the substance-related and addictive disorders chapter has been expanded to include gambling disorder. This reflects the increasing and consistent evidence that some behaviors, such as gambling, also activate the same reward system with effects similar to those of drugs of abuse.
DSM-5 does not include the diagnoses of substance abuse and dependence as utilized in DSM-IV. Rather, criteria are provided for substance use disorder, accompanied by criteria for intoxication, withdrawal, substance induced-disorders, and unspecified substance-related disorders, where relevant.
These questions are from DSM-5 Self-Exam Questions: Test Questions for the Diagnostic Criteria, which may be preordered at http://www.appi.org/SearchCenter/Pages/SearchDetail.aspx?ItemId=62467 from American Psychiatric Publishing. The answers are posted at http://www.psychnews.org/pdfs/DSM-5_Self_Examination_QandA_3.pdf. The questions were developed under the leadership of Philip Muskin, M.D., a professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. The book, available in August, contains 500 questions for all the categories of psychiatric disorders and includes Section III.
