the American Psychiatric Association (APA) had not released any official information regarding the development or release of DSM-6 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 6th Edition).
The DSM is a widely used manual for classifying and diagnosing mental health disorders. It has undergone several revisions and editions since its initial publication in 1952. The most recent edition at that time was DSM-5, which was published in 2013.
It is common for the DSM to be periodically updated to reflect advancements in scientific understanding and changes in the field of psychiatry and psychology. However, the specific timeline for the release of a new edition can be uncertain, as it depends on various factors, including the progress of research, the need for revision, and the APA's decision-making process.
To get the most up-to-date information on the DSM and any potential plans for DSM-6, it's best to refer to official announcements from the American Psychiatric Association or other reliable sources in the mental health community.
