A little disappointed not to see any Psych Central links in this thread. NIMH has not renounced their support whatsoever for the DSM-5 -- that's media spin and not at all true:

Did the NIMH Withdraw Support for the DSM-5? No | World of Psychology

Here is a rundown of the "big changes:"

DSM-5 Released: The Big Changes | World of Psychology

Few of these changes will result in the sky-is-falling kind of proclamations some have made online about the DSM-5. It's a pretty mild update to a reference manual that hasn't been updated in 19 years... Even the number of disorders included remains largely the same.

All of our DSM-5 Coverage is here:

DSM-5 Resource Guide - Psych Central
