The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition<unk> , is the 2013 update to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the taxonomic and diagnostic tool published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). In the United States, the<unk>  serves as the principal authority for psychiatric diagnoses. Treatment recommendations, as well as payment by health care providers, are often determined by<unk>  classifications, so the appearance of a new version has practical importance. The<unk>  is the only<unk>  to use an Arabic numeral instead of a Roman numeral in its title, as well as the only living document version of a<unk> . The<unk>  is not a major revision of the<unk> V-TR but there are significant differences. Changes in the<unk>  include the reconceptualization of Asperger syndrome from a distinct disorder to an autism spectrum disorder; the elimination of subtypes of schizophrenia; the deletion of the "bereavement exclusion" for depressive disorders; the renaming of gender identity disorder to gender dysphoria; the inclusion of binge eating disorder as a discrete eating disorder; the renaming and reconceptualization of Paraphilias, now called paraphilic disorders; the removal of the five-axis system; and the splitting of disorders not otherwise specified into other specified disorders and unspecified disorders. Many authorities criticized the fifth edition both before and after it was published. Critics assert, for example, that many<unk>  revisions or additions lack empirical support; inter-rater reliability is low for many disorders; several sections contain poorly written, confusing, or contradictory information; and the psychiatric drug industry may have unduly influenced the manual's content; many<unk>  workgroup participants had ties to pharmaceutical companies.
