Dsm-4 To The Dsm-5

In the making of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders-5 (DSM-V), there has been many eliminations and many additions. Most interestingly the section headed Feeding and Eating Disorders. There was a great change from the DSM-4 to the DSM-5, under this section was that instead of there being three diagnoses, there are now six. There were three disorders taken from the chapter Disorders First Diagnosed in Childhood and Infancy which were; Pica, rumination and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and then added to the Eating disorder chapter. This change was made because although characterized as a disorder most prevalent in childhood, these distorted eating behaviors do occur in adulthood.
