===''DSM-5''===
The ''DSM-5'', released in May 2013, separates the mood disorder chapter from the ''DSM-IV-TR'' into two sections: Depressive and related disorders and bipolar and related disorders. Bipolar disorders fall in between depressive disorders and schizophrenia spectrum and related disorders "in recognition of their place as a bridge between the two diagnostic classes in terms of symptomatology, family history and genetics" (Ref. 1, p 123).{{sfn|American Psychiatric Association|2013|p={{page needed|date=October 2021}}}} Bipolar disorders underwent a few changes in the ''DSM-5'', most notably the addition of more specific symptomology related to hypomanic and mixed manic states. Depressive disorders underwent the most changes, the addition of three new disorders: disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, persistent depressive disorder (previously dysthymia), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (previously in appendix B, the section for disorders needing further research). Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder is meant as a diagnosis for children and adolescents who would normally be diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a way to limit the bipolar diagnosis in this age cohort. Major depressive disorder (MDD) also underwent a notable change, in that the bereavement clause has been removed. Those previously exempt from a diagnosis of MDD due to bereavement are now candidates for the MDD diagnosis.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Parker|first1=George|title=DSM-5 and Psychotic and Mood Disorders|journal=Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law|date=2014|volume=42|issue=2 |pages=182–190|pmid=24986345}}</ref>
