DSM-5-TR Desk Reference Diagnostic Criteria Guide, Nicholas Strathford, 2026
This is intended as a concise version of the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria, to be used for diagnosing mental health conditions. It is not intended to replace the full DSM-5-TR manual.
This streamlined book covers all of the major health conditions, including Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Feeding and Eating Disorders and Gender Dysphoria. For each disorder, there is a definition, followed by simplified diagnostic criteria and a clinical checklist. These are followed by exclusion notes (do not diagnose this disorder if . . .) and other notes for clinicians.
Start with this book to narrow down a possible diagnosis, then go to the full DSM-5-TR manual to get the right diagnosis. The information in this book is organized and clearly presented. It is recommended for anyone in the mental health field.
