Criteria to be followed in order to be diagnosed with this specific disorder according to the DSM-5.

To be diagnosed according to DSM-5 (5th Edition Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), a number of criteria are required. These criteria can vary depending on which disorder is being discussed, but they usually include the following.

1. Presence of symptoms specific: Individuals must show symptoms which are typical of a disorder. These symptoms have to cause clinically significant stress or impairments in important social, occupational and other areas of function.
2. Duration of symptoms. The symptoms have to persist for an agreed period of time. Duration requirements vary depending on disorder but are usually at least a few weeks or even months.
3. It is important to exclude other possible causes.
4. If you have a clinically significant impairment, it must affect your social, occupational and other vital areas of functioning.
5. Considerations of culture: The symptoms should not result from cultural, religious, or personal experiences, practices, or beliefs.

Note that only a mental health professional with the appropriate qualifications can diagnose a disorder after a complete evaluation. DSM-5 should only be used to guide a diagnosis and should not be relied upon as the basis.
