Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One of the limitations of DSM-IV-TR was the high comorbidity (i.e., co-occurrence) among disorders. DSM-5 attempted to address this by creating a dimensional approach to diagnosis that allows for a more nuanced understanding of the various symptoms and features that underlie different disorders. This approach also recognizes that many individuals may have multiple disorders at once and seeks to provide more meaningful classifications for these cases.
