This DSM-5-TR Summaries Assignment will introduce you to the more common categories that you will encounter as a counselor.

In the Overview, you noticed what is similar across the disorders in the category; in the Disorders section, you will identify the main feature of each disorder that distinguishes it from the rest of the category (e.g., time frames, severity, types of symptoms, etc.)
