The DSM is just a book of disorders and their diagnostic criteria. It does not explain what each disorder is and its features in detail so it is almost useless to a layperson.

If you really want to learn about a specific disorder, read psychology books and research papers. Take some psych classes.

Note: The little numbers associated with each disorder are billings codes. This is what the book is mainly for.

Five PDs?
