Updates to the DSM-5-TR: Social Anxiety Disorder

The DSM is constantly changing to reflect the way the public and those working in the mental health field view or understand a diagnosis.

When the subsequent edition comes out, the parenthetical is typically removed, leaving only the new name. This video explores the name-change process for Social Phobia and how it came to pass over the course of three editions of the manual.
