      Overall great summary. Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder has been misidentified. OCPD involves an excessive preoccupation with rules, order, details, etc. It’s centered around rigidity, perfectionism, and productivity. It’s about inflexibility. It’s not about rituals like re-checking doors, not walking on cracks, etc. Perhaps one day OCPD will get renamed…

    DSM-5 Overview - BarCharts, Inc.

    Essentials including mental illness, medical & behavioral models, psychological perspective, diagnostic classification & DSM-5 classifications

    NOTE: Almost all conditions listed include the caveat that the condition diagnosed/specified is such that the condition is not due to the effects of a substance (except in the case of substance-related disorders), nor is it due to another medical condition; nor is the presence of the condition better explained by the diagnosis of another mental disorder. Last, the condition causes significant distress and impairment in social, academic, vocational, or other important areas of functioning.

    NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS

    Intellectual Disabilities

    Onset during development with deficits in intellectual, social, and practical areas of functioning; deficits manifest in reasoning, problem solving, and abstract thinking as confirmed by various standardized tests of intelligence. Additionally, adaptive functioning deficits manifested in failure to live independently and to be socially responsible. Deficits limit functioning in home, school, and community.

    Communication Disorders

    Persistent difficulties, with onset during early development, in the learning and use of language in its various forms (written, spoken) due to deficits in comprehension or pro­duction. Deficits (as being significantly below accepted age norms) manifested in reduced vocabulary, inability to express oneself due to limited sentence structure, and impaired discursive abilities. Difficulties are not attributable to an underlying medical condition.

    Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Characterized by persistent problems in social interaction and communication across a wide range of activities, including reduced ability to share emotions and interests, and poor ability in communication and understanding both verbal and nonverbal cues and gestures. Also indicated by repetitious behaviors and patterns, insistence on sameness in routines, and fixation on restricted interests. Heightened sensitivity or lack thereof to environmental sensory stimuli.

    Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

    Characterized by chronic inability to pay attention and impulsivity/hyperactivity that impairs functioning and development. Frequently unable to sustain interest in an activity or maintain mental focus required by a task. Easily distracted and forgetful of routine activities. Inability to sit still or remain quiet. Garrulous and impatient.

    Specific Learning Disorder

    Characterized by problems in learning across a range of academic activities. Manifested by poor writing skills and reading comprehension, and/or difficulty in learning numerical concepts and applying numerical reasoning skills. Condition persists despite intervention to improve academic skills and is not better explained by intellectual disabilities, specific sensory deficits, or other extraneous factors.

    Motor Disorders

    Characterized by excessive clumsiness and awkwardness as manifested by poor learning and performance of coordinated
