The APA is planning to eliminate substance dependence and substance abuse from the DSM-5 and is planning to replace them with "[insert drug name]-use disorder". Here are the proposed alcohol-use disorder criteria.
They propose severity specifierswhich is interesting. Howeverat first glanceI'm concerned about putting abuse and dependence on the same continuumthough I was always pretty ambivalent about abuse as a diagnosis anyway. Your thoughts? UPDATE: Let's hope they don't group "internet addiction" and opiate addiction: |
