Dsm-iv-tr is the newest version being used in na right now, published by the american psychiatric association (different from the american psychological association- apa). Dsm-v is coming out because we needed a diagnostic manual that is compatible with icd-10. The most common difference between psychologists and psychiatrists is the ability to prescribe meds. Psychiatrists are able to prescribe meds because they went to medical school. Psychologists cannot prescribe meds because they went to graduate school. There is a high co-morbidity with anxiety disorders and mood disorders. All material up to week 4 will be testable on the midterm, midterm will be february 15th **
