What's Changed: Schizophrenia Spectrum
Story:
Sometimes it only takes one word to change the meaning of an entire idea being expressed. This was the case with the DSM-5 entry for "Other Specified Schizophrenia", where the use of the word "partner" was interpreted in a number of ways by clinicians, causing inconsistent diagnosis. For the publishing of the DSM-5-TR, the word was replaced to create better clarity and understanding.
