The DSM evolved from systems for collecting census and psychiatric hospital statistics, as well as from a United States Army manual. Health-care researchers use the DSM to categorize patients for research purposes. Hospitals, clinics, and insurance companies in the United States may require a DSM diagnosis for all patients. Mental health professionals use the manual to determine and help communicate a patient's diagnosis after an evaluation. It is used-mainly in the United States-by researchers, psychiatric drug regulation agencies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, the legal system, and policymakers. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM latest edition: DSM-5-TR, published in March 2022 ) is a publication by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) for the classification of mental disorders using a common language and standard criteria.
