00:00The latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-5, revised
00:12for the first time in two decades, now recognizes food addiction and compulsive hoarding as
00:17mental health conditions.
00:20Compulsive hoarding is specifically described as an ongoing struggle to discard items that
00:25hold no real value.
00:27Additionally, persistent tantrums in children have been classified as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation
00:33Disorder, DMDD, characterized by frequent irritability and behavioral outbursts occurring
00:39three or more times a week for over a year.
00:43Significant updates in the DSM-5, often referred to as the Bible of Psychiatry, include the
00:49removal of sexual addiction, hypersexual disorder, internet gaming addiction, and transsexuality,
00:56or Gender Identity Disorder, from the list of mental disorders.
01:00Moreover, grief lasting less than two months following the death of a loved one is no longer
01:05categorized as a depressive disorder.
01:09The terms Autism and Asperger Syndrome have also been consolidated under the new designation
01:14Autism Spectrum Disorder.
01:17Despite these revisions, Professor Eduardo Grande, a psychiatrist and former president
01:23of the Argentine Association of Mental Health, offers his insights on the changes.
