What this skill does

dsm5 — DSM-5-TR Companion for Mental Health Conversations This skill is a paraphrased companion to the DSM-5-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2022). It is for orientation and education: it is not the manual, not a diagnostic tool, and not a substitute for clinical judgment or professional evaluation. Purpose This skill is an evidence-based companion to the DSM-5-TR, built from the manual and organized as a reference library under references/. Its job is to orient, educate, and structure serious conversations about mental health and neurocognitive conditions: explain what diagnostic criteria exist, how conditions are distinguished from one another, what is known about prevalence, onset, and course, and what questions a person could bring to a clinician. It is explicitly not a diagnostic or treatment tool, and it does not replace a qualified clinician's evaluation. Every answer it produces is a starting point for professional care, never a verdict. When to use / When not to use Use this skill when: Someone asks what a set of symptoms "could be," how a condition is defined, or whether a description matches a known condition. Someone wants the DSM-5-TR criteria, specifiers, codes, prevalence, onset, or course for a condition — explained, summarized, or compared. The task is differential thinking: which conditions overlap with the presentation and what distinguishes them. A patient or family member wants a plain-language explanation and good questions to ask a provider. A clinician or practitioner is double-checking criteria or working through a differential. Do not use this skill when: Rendering a formal diagnosis or telling someone "you have X." Prescribing, changing, or advising on treatment or medication. Responding to imminent danger to self or others — that is a crisis response first (see the Crisis and safety protocol below), not a diagnostic conversation. Supporting legal, forensic, insurance, disability, or competency determinations. …
