Which of the following is NOT a change to the Neurodevelopmental Disorders listed in the DSM-5?

A Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder was added as a new diagnosis for children up to age 18.
explanation

Although all of the response choices reflect changes to the DSM-5, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder is listed in the Depressive Disorders, not the Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Its creation is to address concerns about potential overdiagnosis and overtreatment of Bipolar Disorder in children. It can be used for children up to age 18 who exhibit persistent irritability and frequent episodes of extreme behavioral dyscontrol.
