Course Summary

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), a publication by the American Psychiatric Association, is the main guide for mental health clinicians in the diagnosis of a mental health disorder. As a leader in psychiatric research and education, the American Psychiatric Association promotes the highest quality care for individuals with mental health disorders, including those with intellectual disabilities and substance use disorders. A major challenge of the DSM-5-TR as a classificatory system for diagnosing mental illness is representing different cultural groups and geographic regions. The use of case studies and a review of new research related to cultural psychiatry helps to elucidate this challenge and helps to guide mental health clinicians in the differential diagnosis of a possible mental illness.
