What is the DSM?

The DSM, or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is a comprehensive classification system developed by the American Psychiatric Association for diagnosing mental health disorders. It is a valuable resource because it helps standardize the diagnostic process, provides clear criteria for identifying mental health issues, and facilitates communication among mental health professionals.
