I don't know. I looked up Australian DSM-V and this link came up. You have to log in and have a password to check the changes, but if you look up DSM-V pdf online, you'll find a free version of the DSM.

I know a lot of things haven't changed to the new DSM standards because it's new. One of the main things changed was the whole autism thing to make it a spectrum and not separate categories. Everyone will still say if they have Aspergers or autistic disorder but now it's just called autism spectrum disorder or ASD.

Sorry, this probably sounds bad. I'm just saying there is a new DSM-V out that states OCD isn't an anxiety disorder anymore but its own category. I just took the first link from Google about the DSM-V in Australia so.

Anyways, I'm just stating what the new DSM is saying. You can look it up yourself if you want.
