Dissociative disorder is a category consisting of mental disease that subsumes dissociative amnesia and is a function of psychopathic disease evidenced by ʄMRI reflecting brain damage responding to specified sections of the thinking part of the brain. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) is the 2013 update to the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) classification and diagnostic tool. In the United States the DSM-5 serves as a universal authority for psychiatric diagnosis and identifies the minimum criteria required to diagnosis a mental disorder, but otherwise the DSM is not to define a mental disorder. The following Dissociative Disorders are identified by the DSM-5: dissociative identity disorder (DID), Other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD), dissociative amnesia (DA), and unspecified dissociative disorder which is a catchall for those with defined symptoms which are undiagnosed.
