"The DSM-5 contains diagnostic criteria and codes for 19 specific categories of mental disorders and additional codes for conditions (often called V-codes) that may be a focus of clinical attention not considered mental disorders. These would include problems such as sibling relational problems, religious or spiritual problems, or extreme poverty. The categories of the DSM are laid out in a general developmental fashion, with categories of disorders typically seen early in the lifespan described first, and those usually expressed later in the lifespan later. Likewise, disorders within categories are also presented in a somewhat developmental sequence. Personality disorders involve life-long patterns of maladaptive cognitions, thoughts, and behaviors that are both consistent (similar across situations) and stable (similar over time). These maladaptive patterns of behavior begin in childhood or early adolescence. “Psychologically abnormal behavior” has been described as many things over the course of history including madness, insanity, craziness, lunacy, mental disorders, mental illnesses, psychopathology, maladjustment, behavioral disturbances, emotional disturbances, personal problems, etc. All of these descriptions are colored by the culture in which they arise and by the particular ideas people have for why people exhibit these problems.
