HiTOP: The DSM Replacement?

Thank you so much for this video 🤍

I was first exposed to this system in a recent article in Harper’s magazine. From how it was described, it heightened my skepticism that it isn’t a step in a better direction from DSM but pathologizes every issue a person might have into a suite of disorders. What it seems to highlight is that many disorders really are just set of commonly co-occurring behaviors and symptoms and not a “cause,” unless there is a neurological pathology that can be functionally determined to objectively exist, such as schizophrenia. Why not just cut out the need to label with fuzzy and ambiguous overlapping criteria and focus directly on the fear, mania, etc that is causing the person to struggle or seek help to begin with? Yet, diagnostic criteria seems more designed to cater to demands of insurance companies to authorize treatment and marketing of medications for the pharmaceutical industries than accurately determine the origin of a patient’s behavior or emotional or social problems. …Sorry, that was more impassioned than I intended. At least folks are trying to address the shortcomings of DSM, but I’m not yet sure it really addresses the underlying issues at play when it comes to how psychiatric pathologies are recognized and treated. Maybe it will depend on how it is implemented. If you have high hopes for it, then maybe my initial impressions have been too harsh. 😅

A step in the right directiontion is better than no step at all I think. Psychopathology is something very complex with many variables and factors. Being able to see the underlying factors and how those relate to the things we are describing is a lot better than the previous diagnostic models we held. Criticism is good though! Only through fire are the best blades tempered.

They didn't add some of the diagnoses like OCPD and DID. Is there a reason for that? Thank you for the video 🌿

[@AsuraPsych]

It would be a very large infographic if every dsm diagnosis was included individually, so some arent directly shown. Also, HiTOP is primarily evidence supported, and DID has very little evidence and is largely debated in the professional field of clinical psychology, so it makes sense they might not have included it for now until further evidence arises.

DID is a controversial diagnosis. For example most of the diagnosis for it happens in the anglosphere. A way to conceptualize disorders are diffrent ways fundamental functions of the psyche can be disfunctional. When it comes to problems related to identity and the symtomps associated with it depending on the model you use there is a huge ammount of overlap between really diffrent disorders. For example C-PTSD sometimes has this splitting of identities. It s still a developing subject.

@@XXNNssTIMis It is making sense, thank you for your answer.

Why the video of getting setting is not available? It was great. I would like to watch it again

[@kaisfp]

What do you mean? Can you please say it in other words? What is "getting" setting? Is it a new KZbin setting? I cannot find any new setting like that on my phone KZbin at least. Thank you.
