DSM V

[Parents! Get help here!]

I came across this website explaining the differences between the DSM-IV and the new V definitions of BPD.  Oh and as far as the website sponsor, I know nothing about her or her program, I just found it goggling

I liked the way it was laid out.  And actually the new definition works for me.   Any thoughts from others?

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

twojaybirds,

Yes, this DSM-5 is very specific.  Reading the DSM-5 criteria, my dd is covered in all.  According to the DSM-IV, I only say 7 of the 9 criteria.  After seeing more specifics, she meets all of the criteria. 

Hope that there will be more diagnosed accurately and more education for therapists. 


peaceplease

Thanks for posting!  This is the first time I have seen the particulars for the DSM V for BPD.  I must say that it seems quite clear and concise AND describes my daughter to a "T".   

Today, my daughter has been quite depressed about her future. . .I wish that I could show her the new definitions/criteria and let her know that it's not "her", but the disorder.   Unfortunately, I am pretty sure how she would react and it would not be advantageous for her to see it  :  ((

May all the people with BPD find some sense of peace and comfort in their lives.

I believe this website is outdated. The final version of the DSM V has been published. It stepped back totally from redefining BPD for current dx. It is put onto list of areas 'for futher study'.

Here is a link to the final version for BPD from the DSMV official website:

www.dsm5.org/Documents/Personality%20Disorders%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf

The home page is here for the manual as a whole. The table of contents by dx is in the right sidebar:

www.dsm5.org/Pages/Default.aspx

The good thing is the Axis distinctions have been removed from the whole manual. There are new codes for insurance purposes on this site also. Wonder how long it will take for the world to catch up to this change and provide the same coverage for PD's as for all other disease.

Another interesting new dx that applies to our young kids and gkids is ":)isruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder". For me, this may gradually replace the dx of bipolar for our raging children. Maybe they will get treatment that works before BPD can set in.

The other part is the proposed changes from 2010, as seen on the link above, have been retained in a seperate section for study purposes. They were deemed too complex to implement with this version.

I will read this when I can and give my impressions. Look forward to others take on it.
