  • The following links to a list of all diagnoses covered by DSM-IV. My updated info is in the final paragraph of this answer. Keep in mind that when you read this, DSM-IV may or may not be the latest and greatest DSM. However, even if it's not the newest, it may still be useful for your particular purpose. If this list is the result of a personal project by the lister, let's be thankful for this person's time and effort. It couldn't have been the easiest project. This is one list, presented in three different formats, or tables. It may take a minute to load if you're on a dial-up connection. http://mysite.verizon.net/res7oqx1/id17.html You specified psych disorders, so the third table is probably the one that's closest to what you need. In this table, unlike one and two, disorders and conditions are grouped by similarity. For example, you'll find disorders related to anxiety, like Panic Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, in the Anxiety Disorders "chapter". That must be a surprise, huh? In that example, all diagnoses not related to anxiety appear in some other chapter, You can weed out most unwanted info just by looking at the chapter name. . Table # 1 lists all the DSM-IV code numbers with the appropriate name in the 2nd column. It's got everything you want, plus stuff you don't. For instance, "Profound Mental Retardation" and "Amphetamine Abuse" are two DSM-IV diagnoses, but not psychiatric disorders. List # 2 is simply List # 1 in alphabetical order. After you get to List # 3, just scroll down towards the bottom. If you watch the left-most column as you're scrolling down, and don't scroll terribly fast, you'll be able to determine when the # 1 table ends and # 2 begins, and when # 2 ends and # 3 starts. Since it's a long page, it's nice to have some idea of where you are. BTW, "NOS" stands for "Not Otherwise Specified". Drove me crazy, so to speak, until I looked it up. Hope this helps, and have a nice 4th. UPDATE 8-28-05: Based on maddock's input (see comments below) I searched on google for "DSV-IVR", assuming this referenced an updated version of DSM-IV. Google, the mother of all search engines, found exactly one thing, which was irrelevant (it was actually unreadable gibberish.) I then tried, "DSM-IVR" , substituting M for V and found nothing conclusive. I forged ahead to "lastest version of DSM?" and got many hits, one of which was dated August 27, 2005. That page claimed that latest version is DSM-IV. I went to the National Institutes of Mental Health website and actually forgot what I was looking for, because there's so much interesting information on so many subjects. I did manage to get back on track, however, but still found nothing to indicate the DSM-IV has been superseded. None of the others Google found showed anything that made me pop the champagne corks. maddock, please email me at alyxx@operamail with more info on "DSV-IVR" and I will update any relevant information in this answer. At this point, the only DSV-IVR I found on the world wide web is in your comment. Since you made the point, and are apparently the only source, I'd appreciate your clarification.
