Answer 1

Answer:

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th ed. (DSM-5) includes changes to some key disorders of childhood. Two new childhood mental disorders were added in the DSM-5: social communication disorder (or SCD) and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (or DMDD). There were age-related diagnostic criteria changes for two other mental disorder categories particularly relevant to the definition of serious emotional disturbance (SED): attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). An ADHD diagnosis now requires symptoms to be present prior to the age of 12 (rather than 7, the age of onset from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed. [DSM-IV]). PTSD includes a new subtype specifically for children younger than 6 years of age.

Sections 3.1 and 3.2 provide detailed descriptions of these disorders as well as summaries of the research that has been conducted around their impact on the prevalence of childhood mental disorders. Other disorders did not have specific DSM-5 changes related to childhood, but these changes would be relevant to both adults and children (e.g., major depressive disorder [MDD], generalized anxiety disorder [GAD]). Section 3.3 provides a brief overview of DSM-5 changes to these remaining disorders. In the report sections that follow we reference prevalence rates found in studies of community samples using the DSM-5. For some disorders, we also reference prevalence rates in clinical samples where direct comparisons were performed between DSM-IV and DSM-5 ratings. The prevalence rates from clinical samples are relevant to this report in demonstrating the magnitude of change that might be expected in prevalence rates from DSM-IV to DSM-5.
