Issues Involved with DSM-5

Human health is a critical perspective that requires accurate diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. In anticipation of medical practice inefficiencies that arise when providing healthcare services, the American Psychiatric Association drafted the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to align physicians operation with other practitioners across the world. Through the latest issue of DSM-5, psychiatrists' actions are monitored and measured against provided operational recommendations to ensure quality services for the patients.
