Other Disorders 

 

Please find below a list of disorders that are currently proposed for the diagnostic category, Other Disorders. This category contains new diagnoses that were not listed in DSM-IV, such as those related to Self-Injury. The Childhood and Adolescent Disorders Work Group has been responsible for addressing the diagnosis, Non-Suicidal Self Injury, while the Mood Disorders Work Group developed draft criteria for the diagnosis, Suicidal Behavior Disorder. This category also includes Factitious Disorder, which was previously located in DSM-IV under the chapter Somatoform Disorders and is the responsibility of the Somatic Symptoms Disorders Work Group, and Other Substance-Induced Disorder, which was previously located in DSM-IV under the chapter Substance-Related Disorders and is the responsibility of the Substance-Related Disorders Work Group. We appreciate your review and comment on these disorders.
