DSM-5 stakeholder review and comment exercises
First draft: The American Psychiatric Association (APA) released its first draft proposals for changes to DSM-IV diagnostic categories and criteria on a new APA website, DSM-5 Development, on February 10, 2010. Stakeholder comments were accepted, via the website, until April 20. Over 8,600 comments were reported as having been received by the Task Force and 13 Work Groups in response to this first review.
Second draft: The second draft was published on May 4, 2011, with no prior announcement or news release. The comment period ran until June 15. This was extended on the closing day for a further month, until July 15. Around 2,120 comments were reported as having been received.
According to Task Force Chair, Dr. David Kupfer, MD, the specific diagnostic categories that received the most feedback during the second public review and feedback exercise were sexual and gender identity disorders, followed closely by somatic symptom disorders and anxiety disorders.
Current proposals: Current proposals can be found on the DSM-5 Development website. Note that since the May 2011 stakeholder review and feedback exercise, there will have been revisions to criteria for some categories, to the proposed section placement of some categories and also to the text of some of the Disorder Description and Rationale/Validity PDF documents that accompany a number of category proposals. So please refer to the DSM-5 Development site for the most recent proposals.
Third draft: A third and final draft had been timelined for January-February 2012. This is now expected by May 2012, at the latest, due to delays in the completion of the clinical setting field trials.

Third and final draft
When dates for the third and final draft review becomes available, I will update this page.
As soon as the third draft is posted on the DSM-5 Development website, a notice and links will be posted on this site with instructions on how to register with APA for submitting comment; alerts will also go out on ME agenda on Facebook, Twitter @MEagenda using hashtag #DSM5thirddraft, on Co-Cure Listerv and Phoenix Rising Forum. The custom URL for this page is http://tinyurl.com/third-draft
For the previous two feedback exercises, comments from individuals or on behalf of organizations were accepted via a registration process on the DSM-5 website, for which a valid email address is required for validation purposes. Comments were uploaded via a WYSIWYG/html editor.
These review and feedback exercises are open to all stakeholders in DSM-5 – medical professionals, clinicians, researchers, psychiatrists, psychologists, allied mental health and health professionals, counselors, social workers, OTs, lawyers, teachers, patients and their families, caregivers, advocates and patient organizations.
These public reviews are not run as formal consultation exercises and the Task Force does not publish lists of the names of the professional bodies, organizations, institutions and individuals who have submitted feedback; nor does it usually publish any responses the APA or Task Force might have made.
After the third review period has closed, it isn’t known whether the proposals, as published, will be updated to reflect any edits and revisions made in response to public and professional feedback following closure of the review and before going to press. Nor is it known whether any textual content already drafted will be made available as part of the review.

for a list of updates made to the DSM-5 Development site, including changes in draft criteria and other proposed revisions. Some criteria and category descriptions have been updated since the closure of the May-July 2011 stakeholder review period – so please don’t rely on material found on websites or forums.
Some categories, for example, the Somatic Symptom Disorders, have PDF documents associated with them for Disorder Descriptions and Rationale/Validity Propositions. These PDF documents may have also been subject to revision and edits since they were published on the DSM-5 site in May 2011.
