Question

Describe the dimensions the DSM uses to classify mental disorders

Answer 1

The diagnostic categorization, diagnostic criterion sets, and descriptive text are the three major components of the DSM. The diagnostic categorization is the DSM's official list of recognized mental disorders. Instead, the DSM-5 contains disorder categories as well as a number of linked disorders. Anxiety disorders, bipolar and associated disorders, depressive disorders, feeding and eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and personality disorder are examples of DSM-5 categories.
