Explanation:

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5, (DSM 5) is the the fifth edition of the American owned manual which was published by the American psychiatric association. It is said to be the most accurate for diagnosis and classification of mental disorders. This fifth edition was published in 2013.

The disruptive mood dysregulation disorder is a childhood condition that involves anger and lack of temper management. This diagnosis first appeared in the DSM-V. This condition was formerly categorized as a bi-polar disorder.

This new diagnosis by the DSM will help reduce the number of children diagnosed with bi-polar disorder.
