Edit to lead (23 Jan 2020)
I trimmed the lead and edited the short description (diff). My reason for trimming the lead: I realized that much of the paragraph was unsourced - I thought it was discussed in the body of the article, but it's not. The sentence about the protest petition is not relevant or important enough to be included in the lead, and it is covered in the criticism section. - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 07:35, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Substance-related and addictive disorders
Berchanhimez rightly deleted a list of all DSM-5 substance dependence diagnoses (diff) with this edit description: "remove list that's almost certainly a copyvio, and is wholly unnecessary to describing "changes" (which this section is). I agree. The subsection is Substance-related and addictive disorders, under Section II: diagnostic criteria and codes. I am creating this section on the Talk page so that we can discuss here, if needed. - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.)
Total number of disorders taken up in the DSM?
I found " over 450 distinct definitions of mental disorders" in the article List of mental disorders. Shouldn't this be mentioned in the intro of this article? Thy, SvenAERTS (talk) 10:44, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
