Reading a Section III Condition
Captions available
The idea
A condition listed in DSM-5 Section III has proposed criteria that are under study, not a settled diagnosis.
In practice
Section III entries are published so researchers test the same criteria rather than each defining the condition differently.
Where people slip
Section III status describes the state of the evidence. It says nothing about how common or how serious a condition is.
