The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) provides a standard common language to classify mental disorders. The fifth revision of DSM (referred to as DSM-5, published in May 2013) includes changes to the diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder. Based on research and various DSM-5 task forces, revised definitions include a broader range of symptoms with criteria more specific to PTSD and related diagnoses.
