Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition: DSM-5

Yes.

The red flags shift from professional cynicism to pervasive systemic symptoms that align with DSM-5 criteria for major depressive disorder.

You see persistent low mood that does not lift on weekends or holidays.

Right.

Could you

talk about that a bit? We've adapted the DSM-5.

the diagnostic manual criteria developed by the American Psychiatric Association, we've adapted the criteria for diagnosing alcoholism.

There are 11 behaviors that exist in a...

And she came to me basically expressing what could be a form of moral fatigue.

Because many of her clinicians who were trained in a different model to her, they were trained in the model post-DSM-5, so after 2013, and she was finding that it was difficult for her clinical opinion to be heard about what was and what was not the former autistic disorder.

So that was another thread.

But the final thread really has been what's been occurring worldwide recently in relation to the increased prevalence of both autism and ADHD.

Yeah, so...

I'd just like to clarify a few things that you said there and maybe go down a bit of this discussion.

With the change in DSM-5, we got in lots of different ways of thinking about and analyzing the way that we think about autism.

This is often most people attribute to one of the largest diagnostic expansions.

So that means it's something that is kind of more immediate when it's acute.

This, according to the DSM-5, if you're in the mental health field, you know that's the Bible of what we use to diagnose.

And it needs to be the acute, like turns into PTSD if it's longer term response.

But for it to be an acute response, it has to be persisting for a few days, three days typically.

Even though clinical narcissistic personality disorder, say that two or three times in a row, is not what most people are talking about when they use the word.

The handbook, the DSM-5, defines it as a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, present across contexts and from early adulthood.

The estimated prevalence in the general population is somewhere between 0.5% and 5%, with a huge amount of variability across different studies.

But here's what's important for us today.

Envy is such a compelling part of the narcissistic personality and landscape that it is actually part of the actual diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder.

The DSM-5 basically says that narcissistic people envy others or believe that others envy them.

So what's that about? What is it about envy that makes it so central to narcissism? Why is it even an issue? Why is envy even an issue? And if you suspect you have narcissistic patterns, what can you do about this part of the pattern, about the envy part? So welcome back to this series.

This is for folks who say, listen, I watch this channel and I think I might be the narcissist.

This is a really easy way to become bankrupt or have financial issues.

And finally, I will argue that 100% of people who are dealing with anorexia, and it may not even be, when I say this, you don't even have to potentially qualify with all the DSM-5, meaning you might just be restricting calories or have eating disorder tendencies, you might not have full-blown anorexia, but they deal with racing thoughts around food.

Like I said in the beginning of this presentation, I was just told that's normal.

So I'm like, all right, cool, I'm going to have to become a high-functioning individual with all these issues.

Once again, this is my definition, right? This is my definition.

I'm not going to give you guys definitions from like an encyclopedia or a DSM-5 or something like that today.

I want to give just relatable information.

So psychological equity is the foundation of being psychologically equitable from a place of sustainability.
