## The DSM-5 map, where everything lives

DSM-5 organises mental disorders into about twenty chapters, ordered roughly by the age at which they typically first appear. Colour marks the categories this atlas covers in depth; the tag on each cell shows whether it sits inside the CTEVT PSC curriculum.

On every disorder page a small chip like sits beside the heading: these are the diagnosis codes, the DSM-5's older ICD-9-CM number first, then the ICD-10 code (the "F-code") used in hospital records, referral letters and insurance forms today; the DSM-5 prints the US clinical modification, ICD-10-CM, of the same code. The x stands for a digit that encodes severity.

**For CTEVT PSC exam takers:** if a paper asks you to list the types of mental illness, give the curriculum's own answer first; **anxiety, depression, conversion disorder, psychosis, plus child mental illness**, and only then add breadth. Breadth after accuracy, never instead of it.
