Recently I was working on some research and came across a website that provided some information about the DSM that may or may not have been accurate. Although it was not about what is in the DSM, it is a question that only the APA would be able to answer.

Because of this, I was doing some additional research to attempt to find the answer. This brought me across several pages that I found to be very important in our field.

Because these pages are on the APA website, to avoid any type of infringement, we can only provide information about the page and the website page itself.

The first page that was located gave information about ICD-10 changes that went into effect in the Fall of 2020. This is important that you take the time to look at this list to help you with your practice.

The next page of information is a list of regular updates to the DSM 5 that we should all review. These updates may be minor updates typically, however, sometimes, it could be a change in a diagnostic number.

Finally, if you have never looked at the APA blog, it has quite a bit of information that you might like to review.

I hope this continues to help you in your practices.
