Sensible & perplexing changes in adhd diagnostic criteria dsm-v

The Amer­i­can Psy­chi­atric Asso­ci­a­tion recently pub­lished DSM-V, the first major revi­sion to the diag­nos­tic man­ual for psy­chi­atric dis­or­ders since 1994. In DSM-V, ADHD is included in the sec­tion on Neu­rode­vel­op­men­tal Dis­or­ders, rather than being grouped with the dis­rup­tive behav­ior dis­or­ders, i.e., Oppo­si­tional Defi­ant Dis­or­der and Con­duct Dis­or­der. This change bet­ter reflects the way ADHD is cur­rently conceptualized.
