These disorders got separated accordingly. The DSM 5 eliminated the section disorders usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence.

When the DSM was being revised, changes started to occur in categorization of disorders. The DSM 5 disruptive, impulse-control and conduct disorders section has oppositional defiant disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, conduct disorder, antisocial personality disorder, pyromania, kleptomania, and other specified/unspecified disruptive, impulsive, and conduct disorders. The argument was that conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder are closely associated together because of presenting symptomology. It is now listed in the disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders as well as the personality disorders. They also gave dual disorder listing to antisocial personality disorder. This contains intermittent explosive disorder, pyromania, and kleptomania. The next section of disorders came from impulse-control disorders not otherwise specified. Disruptive behavior disorder not otherwise specified has been removed from the DSM 5 and is now being called specified and unspecified disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders. The first section of the disorders occurring in infancy, childhood, or adolescences contained oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder, and disruptive behavior disorder not otherwise specified. The majority of the disruptive, impulse-control and conduct disorders came from the two different sections called “disorders usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence” and “impulse control disorders not otherwise specified”.

This class combined different disorders together that presented problems with self control regarding behaviors (compliance, violence, trouble with the law), emotions, and impulsivity. One of the biggest changes to occur from the DSM IV to the DSM 5 was that there was a new chapter of disorders created called disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders. As part of their work for the course, each student had to demonstrate mastery of the skill of “Educating the Public about Mental Health.” To that end, each student has to prepare two 1,000ish word posts on a particular class of mental disorders, with one of those focusing on changes made from the DSM-IV to the DSM-5.ĭisruptive, Impulse-Control, & Conduct Disorders in the DSM-5 by Hailey Hinkle
