The DSM-5 was published on May 18, 2013,superseding the DSM-IV-TR, which was publishedin 2000. The development of the new edition beganwith a conference in 1999, and proceeded with theformation of a Task Force in 2007, which developedand field-tested a variety of new classifications. Inmost respects DSM-5 is nat greatly changed from Y~~-~;~~~4~-'~~?~ ~~~~vwr°~~e~,DSM-IV-TR. Notable changes include dropping - - `~Asperger syndrome as a distinct classification; loss `Author ~nerican Psychiatric Associationof subtype classifications for variant farms of Country United Statesschizophrenia; dropping the "bereavement exclusion"for depressive disorders; a revised treatment and 'Language English

~~e Afl`]BC1C~1~1 PS}/Crllc`~tl"IC Association's Diagnostic aT~d SfntisticnC Mat2i~ni of

;1-lentat Dr~~~rdr'rs (DSM) is a classification of mel~tal disorders with associated criteria de-

s;~.;,zed to facilitate more reliable diagnoses of. these disarders. With successive editions

~,~~ ~~r the pa ~t h0 years, it has became a standard reference for clinical practice in the mental

health tic ld. since a complete description of the underlying pathological processes is not

possible f<~r most mental disorders, it is important to emphasize that the current diagnos-

tic criteria are the best availaUle description of how mental disorders are expressed and

can be recognized by trained clulicialls. DSM is intended to serve as a practical, functional,

and fle~i~le guide for organizing information that can aid in the accurate diagnosis and

treamie~lt of mental disorders. It is a tool for clinicians, an essential educational resource

for students and practitioners, and a reference for researchers in the field.

Although this edition of DSM was designed first and foremost to be a useful guide to

clinical practice, as an official nomenclature it must be applicable in a wide diversity of

cc~ntcxts. DSM has been used by clinicians and researchers from different orientations (bi-

o1o~ieal, psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, family/systems), all of

~vhnm strive for a common language to communicate the essential characteristics of men-

tal disorders presented by their patients. The information is of value to all professionals

atisociated with various aspects of mental health care, including psychiatrists, other

physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurses, counselors, forensic and legal special-

ists,occupational and rehabilitation therapists, and other health professionals. The criteria

a re concise and explicit anduttended to facilitate an objective assessment of symptom pre-

~entations in a variety of clinical settings—inpatient, outpatient, partial hospital, consul-

tation-liaison, clinical, private practice, and primary care—as well in general community

epidemiological studies of mental disorders. DSM-5 is also a tool for collee~ing and com-

rnunicating accurate public health statistics on mental disorder morbidity and mortality

rates. Finally, the criteria and corresponding text serve as a textbook for students early u1

their profession who need a structured way to understand and diagnose mental disorders

as well as for seasoned professionals encountering rare disorders for the first time. Fortu-

nately, aIl of these uses are mutually compatible.

These diverse needs and interests were taken into consideration in planning DSM-5.

The classification of disorders is harmonized with. the World Health Organization's 1~2tei^-

nr~tion~al Ctassification of Diseases (ICD), the official coding system used in the United States,

so that the DSM criteria define disorders identified by ICD diagnostic names and code

numbers. In DSM-5, both ICD-9-CM and ICD-IO-CM codes (the latter scheduled for ado~-

tion in October 2014) are attached to the relevant disorders in the classification.

Although DSM-5 remains a categorical classification of separate disorders, we recog-

nize that mental disorders do not always fit completely within the boundaries of a single

disorder. Some symptom domains, such as depression and anxiety, involve multiple di-

agnostic categories and may reflect common underlying vulnerabilities for a larger group

of disorders. In recob ition of this reality, the disorders included in DSM-5 were reordered

into a revised organizational structure meant to stimulate new clinical perspectives. This

new structure corresponds with the organizational arrangement of disorders planned for

ICD-11 scheduled for release in 2015.Other enhancements have been introduced to pro-

mote ease of use across all. settings:

xlii Preface

• Representation of developmental issues related to diagnosis. Tile change in chapter

organization better reflects. a lifespan approach, with disorders more frequently diag-

nosed in childhood {e.g., neurodevelopmental disorders) at the beginning of the man-

ual and disorders more applicable to older adulthood (e.g., neurocognitive disorders)

at the end of the manual. Also, within the text, subheadings on development and course

provide descriptions of how. disorder presentations may change across the lifespan.

.Age-related factors specific to diagnosis (e.g., symptom presentation and prevalence

differences in certain age groups) are also included in the text. For added emphasis,

these age-related factors have been added to the criteria themselves where applicable

{e.g., in the criteria sets for insomnia disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder, spe-

cificcriteria describe how symptoms might be expressed in children). Likewise, gender

and cultural issues have been integrated into the disorders where applicable.

o Integration of scientific findings from the latest research in genetics and neuroimag-

ing.The revised :chapter structure was informed by recent research in neuroscience and

by emerging genetic linkages between diagnostic groups.. Genetic and physiological

risk factors, prognostic indic~~lors, and some putative diagnostic markexs are high-

lighted in the #ext. This n~~~~ structure should improve clinicians' ability to identify di-

agnoses i~l a disorder specirumbased on common neurocircuitry, genetic vulnerability,

anden~°ironmental expo~tu~as. ~

• Consolidation o£ autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder, and pervasive developmen-

tal disorder into autism spectrum disorder, Symptoms of these disorders represent a

single continuum ut mild to severe impairments in the t~n~o domains of social commu-

nication and restrictive repetitive behaviors/interests rather than being distinct disor-

ders. This change is designed to improve t}le sensiti~~ t~ ~ncl specificity of the criteria for

the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and to identity mare focused t~ c,ltment tar-

gets for the specific impairments identified. ~

s Restructuring of substance use disorders for consistency and clarity. The categories

of substance abuse and substance dependence have been eliminated anti replaced with

an overarching ne~v c~tegory,of substance use disorders—with the specific substance

used d~tir~ing the specific disorders. "Dependence" has been easily confused with the

I ~ term "addiction" when, in fact, the tolerance and withdrawal that previously defined

dependence are actually very normal responses to prescribed medications that affect

the central nervous system and do not necessarily indicate the presence of an addiction.

By revising and clarifying these criteria in DSM-5, we hope to ~lieviate some of the

widespread misunderstanding about these issues.

Enhanced specificity for majar and mild neurocognitive disorders. Gi~~en the explo-

sion inneuroscience, neuropsychology, and brain imaging over the past 20 years, it was

critical to con~rey the current state-of-the-art in #le diagnosis of specific types of disor-

• Transition in conceptualizing personality disorders. ~1lthrntgll the benefits of a snore

dimensional approach to personaliEy disorders have been identified in previous edi-

}

bons, the transition from a categorical diagnostic system of individual disorders to one

n

based can the relative distribution of personality traits has not been widely accepEed. In

`~

DSM-5, t11e categorical personality disorders are virtually unchanged from the previous

~~

edition. However, an alternative "hybrid" lnodei has been proposed in Section III to

guide firture research that separates interpersonal functioning assessments and the ex-

}

pression of pathological personality traits for six specific disorders. A more dimensional s;

profile of personality trait expression is also proposed for atrait-specified ap~roadl.

Section III: new disorders and features. A new section (Section III) has been added to

highlight disorders that require further study bLiE are i~ot sufficielltiy well established to

be a part of the official classification of mental disorders for routine clinical use. Dimen-

~;

sional measures of symptom severity in 13 symptom domains have also been incorpo-

rated to allow for the measurement of symptom levels of varying severity across all

diagnostic groups. Likewise, the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), a

standard method for assessing global disability levels for mental disorders that is based

on Elie International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and is ap-

placable in all of medicine, has been provided to replace the more limited Global As-

`-r

sessment of Functioning scale. Tt is our Hope t11at as these measures are implemented

aver tinge, they will provide greater accuracy and flexibility in the clinical description of

• Online enhancements. DSM-5 features online supplemental information. ~'~~

Additional cross-cutting and diagnostic severity measures are available online

(w~~v~v.psychiatry.org/dsm5), linked to the relevant disorders. In addition, the Cul-

~~;

tural Formulation Interview, Cultural ForinulationInterview—Informant Version, and

`~~

supplementary modules to the core Cultural Formulation Interview are also included

online at www.psychiatry.org/dsm5. ' "

These innovations were designed by the leading authorities on mental disorders in the

`

world and were implemented on the basis of their expert review, public commentary, and

independent peer review. The 13 work groups, under the direction of the DSM-5 Task

~ ~

Force, in conjunction with other review bodies and, eventually, the APA Board of Trust-

''

ees, collectively represent the global expertise of the specialty. This effort was supported

f ;`

by an extensive base of advisors and by the professional staff of the APA Division of Re-

seardl; the Haines of e~~eryone involved are too numerous to mention here but are listed in

the Appendix. We owe tremendous thanks to those who devoted countless hours and in

-

valuable expertise to this effort to improve the diagnosis of mental disorders.

FINDWG OF EMERGENCY

A. Finding of Emergency Regulatory Action Is Necessary

The proposed regulations are being readopted for a second time on an emergency basis for theimmediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, or general welfare, within themeaning of Government Code section 11346.1.

B. Description of Specific Facts Which Constitute the Emergency

NECESSITY OF THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS

Over the past four years, there have been a .large increase in Penal .Code section 1370.("Incompetent to Stand Trial" or "IST") commitments by county courts to DSH for treatment. Asthe referrals from around the state have increased, the waitlist for patients to be admitted hasalso grown, .despite expansion of capacity by DSH. In response to the growing waitlist, manycourts responded by issuing standing orders with a set admission period or by issuing Orders toShow Cause (OSC). The standing orders and OSCs resulted in inconsistent admission periodsamong counties, consumption of valuable court time, increased threat of the State being foundin contempt, and longer wait times for admission to DSH during which defendants remain incounty jails without treatment.

In practice, issuance of standing orders or 05Cs slow down the admissions process for ISTdefendants statewide for logistic and administrative reasons. logistically, a standing order orOSC forces DSH to admit a patient ahead of earlier referrals to avoid legal. penalties, causingother referrals to wait longer for admission and disrupting the flow of the waitlist, creating longer.wait times overall. Administratively, astanding order or OSC takes away staff time from focusingon: (1) coordinating with counties to receive commitment referral. packets; (2) reviewing receivedcommitment packets; and (3) coordinating with counties to transport IST defendants foradmission to the hospital. To comply, admission staff must redirect work on one IST defendantto the IST defendant who is the subject of a standing order or OSC.

On April 12, 2016, the Court of Rppeal for the First Appellate District upheld the Contra CostaCounty Superior Court's standing order to admit patients. to DSH within 60 days of commitment(/n re Loveton (2016) 244 Cal.App.4th 1025.) This decision provided the first clear guidance on .a reasonable admissions timeframe. If courts throughout the state follow the precedent set forthin /n re Loveton and case issuing standing orders. and OSCs not in line with the decision, DSHanticipates that the problems described above would be ameliorated and that admission waittimes would decrease.

However, DSH has not seen courts statewide adhere to Lovefon. Courts continue to issueOSCs not in line with /n re Loveton. Therefore, it is necessary to promulgate the proposedregulations to outline DSH's admissions process for IST defendants and to show that standingorders and OSCs will no longerexpedite admission of one county's IST defendant over anothercounty's IST defendant.

In re Loveton also discussed the need for courts to provide complete commitment referralpackets to DSH. Prior to /n re Loveton, DSH received many incomplete commitment packetsfrom various counties, and incomplete packets contribute to some delays in the. admission of

5/25/2017 Page 1 of 4

IST defendants. To provide clear guidance on what a complete commitment packet is, DSHspent a number of months speaking to hospital forensic experts, medical directors, executivemanagement, and the Health and Human Services Agency that oversees DSH, to draft clear,comprehensive regulations.

DSH proposes the emergency regulations to create a statewide, uniform admissions process forIST defendants committed to DSH. The proposed emergency regulations will also ensure that acomplete commitment packet is provided to DSH. Implementation of this uniform processthrough these regulations will preserve the public peace, health and safety, or general welfareby streamlining the admissions process for IST defendants, resulting in expedient access totreatment, removal from the county jail where space is critical and treatment is not alwaysavailable, decreased use of criminal court time, and equity for IST defendants awaitingadmission throughout the state.

DSH duplicates Penal Code section 1370, subdivision (a)(3) in section 1370, subdivision (a)(3),in section 4711 pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, title 1, section 12, subdivision(b)(1), in order to provide clarity and meet the clarity standard. Duplication is .necessary becausethe Penal Code section 1370 commitment packet documents listed in this section .are clearlydefined except for "medical records" under Penal Code section 1370, subdivision (a)(3)(I).Setting out a regulation only defining medical records could indicate this is the onlydocumentation necessary for a complete Penal Code section 1374 commitment packet whenthe 1370 statute lists nine individual categories of documents that make-up a complete PenalCade section 1370 commitment packet

BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED EMERGENCY REGULATIONS

The benefits of the regulations will be to prevent discrimination, to promote fairness and socialequity, and to increase openness and transparency in government. By implementing the ./n reLoveton decision, the proposed emergency regulations will provide a uniform admissions criteria.and help all the counties understand the admission process and allow uniformity within thevarious counties. The proposed emergency regulations will help DSH better serve those ISTdefendants committed to DSH and provide clarification as to what documents areneeded andwhat will be reviewed. These regulations should reduce overall wait time for admission. to DSH,help remove IST defendants from county jails, reduce time on criminal court calendars, andprovide equity in admission process to defendants throughout the state. The regulations specifythe documentation and records required by the Department to evaluate each committedindividual for admission to a state. hospital .Further, the regulations lay out the factors that theDepartment considers in assessing each committed individual for medical needs, psychiatric

..acuity, and security risk. Clearly laying out the objective metric that the Department will use inadmitting committed individuals safeguards from the preferential treatment of one county over .another or one committed individual over another, thereby preventing discrimination andpromoting fairness. With a regulated standard, state-wide admissions process, the expectationsof courts, counties, counsel, and committed individuals about the admissions. process will bebetter managed and met, fostering openness and transparency in government,.

EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED EMERGENCY REGU~ATtONS

(1) DSH has done a search of existing statutes and regulations. These proposed regulationsare consistent with existing statutes and regulations and will implement and comply with /nre Lovetan.

(2) There are no federal regulations previously adopted or amended that prohibit the.proposed regulations.

{3) These regulations will provide uniform rules to all counties and will provide clarification inthe admission process for all counties. and IST defendants committed to DSH pursuant toPenal Code section 1370.

THE FINDING OF EMERGENCY

DSH finds that the proposed regulatory action is necessary to address an emergency. Anemergency is "a situation that calls for immediate .action to avoid serious harm to the publicpeace, health, safety, or general welfare." (Gov. Code, § .11342.545.)

DSH currently is attempting to simultaneously and timely admit. patients from all 58 counties,while IST referrals from many of #hese counties have been .increasing substantially each week..The second readoption of the proposed emergency regulations will continue to ensureconformity with the process set forth in /n re Loveton. While DSH is also working on system-wide bed expansion, DSN has been sued by the ACLU in Alameda Superior Court as well asbeing sued in a potential class action lawsuit in federal. court from Ventura County patients, bothlawsuits challenging the admissions timeline, standards, and process for 1ST defendants.Further, when a patient has not been admitted to DSH after. a period of time, some courts havereleased the. patient into the community.

Readoption of the proposed emergency regulations is the immediate action required to avoidserious harm to the public peace, health, safety, or general .welfare. Should the proposedemergency regulations not be readopted, there would be serious harm to the counties, thecourts, the IST defendants, and the public. Counties, court, and counsel would be without clearand standard guidance on the admissions process for IST defendants. Some IST defendants,after waiting a period of time, may be released by the courts to the community. As a result, theremay also be an increase in courts issuing standing orders or OSCs not in line with /n reLoveton, further diverting State time and resources from a standardized admissions process toaddressing standing orders or OSCs and further increasing wait times for IST defendants.
