Psychiatric Disabilities Under the ADA: proposed changes to diagnostic tool may result in a broader definition of "disability"
I just read a very interesting article. titled “Furor over DSM-V.” Apparently, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association as a diagnostic tool), is in the process of being revised (for the fifth time, hence “V”). Details of the proposed changes were recently released and, if implemented in their current form, may significantly impact employers’ obligation to accommodate disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
