Please find
below a list of disorders that are currently proposed
for the diagnostic category, Neurodevelopmental
Disorders. This category contains diagnoses that were
listed in DSM-IV under the chapters of Disorders Usually
First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescence
and Anxiety Disorders. The
Neurodevelopmental Disorders;
ADHD and Disruptive Behaviors Disorders;
Child and Adolescent Disorders; and
Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum, Posttraumatic,
and Dissociative Disorders Work Groups have been
responsible for addressing these disorders.
For a
conceptual overview of developmental issues in DSM-5,
which are being addressed by members of these work
groups as well as members of the
Lifespan Developmental Approaches Study Group,
please see the paper by Pine et al. (in:
Evolution of the DSM-5 Conceptual Framework: Development,
Dimensions, Disability, Spectra, and Gender/Culture;
2011). We appreciate your review and comment on
these disorders.
