Diagnosing mental disorders. DSM-5 and the ICD-10. Neurodevelopmental disorders
Description
The periods of development from our conception through our adolescence is the most crucial one of our lives. While these formative period won't necessarily define the adults we will become, they will partially set the stage for our sense of identity, our abilities, and perhaps our limitations. For some however, a number of complications during this time can interfere with the development of the nervous system, to the extent that it can impair the individual throughout their maturation and into adulthood. If this is the case, the individual may be experiencing a neurodevelopmental disorder, a grouping of disorders codified and defined in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5. These individuals could face significant difficulties with everything from educational development to motor skills-�difficulties that they may face for their entire lives.
