What's New

The APA website for DSM-5 is open for public comment until July 15, 2011 on the proposed changes to DSM-5. These include changes that may separate OCD from other anxiety disorders and group it with other disorders like BDD and Trichotillomania. There are also new criteria for Hoarding Disorder and changes to Trichotillomania. Go to this website to weigh in: http://www.dsm5.org/
