List of mental disorders in the DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR

This article lists mental disorders Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), published by the American Psychiatry Association (APA) in May 1994.[1] The DSM-IV superseded the DSM-III-R (1987) and was later updated with the DSM-IV-TR (Text Revision) in July 2000.[2]

Similar to its predecessor, the DSM-III-R, the DSM-IV-TR aimed to bridge the gap between the DSM-IV and the subsequent major release, initially referred to as DSM-V (later titled DSM-5).[3] The DSM-IV-TR features expanded disorder descriptions, clarified wordings, and corrected errors. While categorizations and diagnostic criteria remained largely unchanged, a few subtypes were added or removed. Additionally, ICD-9-CM codes updated since the release of DSM-IV were incorporated.[4] Both the DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR encompass a total of 297 mental disorders.[5]
