TEODORO, Elizabeth Fátima; SIMOES, Alexandre  e  GONCALVES, Gesianni Amaral. DSM-5 and mood disorders: a critical analysis in the light of psychoanalytic theory. Mental [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.23, pp. 52-78. ISSN 1679-4427.

Starting from the assumption that psychopathology has a transitory character, and in view of the discussions about the DSM-5, the question is: who serves the alterations of the diagnostic classes, especially those of Mood Disorders? Answering this ques-tion involves reflecting on the ways of dealing with psychological suffering in today's society. In these terms, the objective is to critically analyze the changes in the class of Mood Disorders suffered in the latest version of the DSM. Exploratory and comparative bibliographic research was used as a method. It appeared that the diagnostic class of Mood Disorder present in DSM-IV was extinguished from DSM-5 and its diagnostic categories gave rise to two new classes: Bipolar Disorder and Related Disorders and Depressive Disorders. It was concluded that the alterations referring to Mood Disorders suggest an increasing tendency to pathologize states of mind resulting from the subject's normal suffering conditions. On the other hand, contemporary society seems to provide its own insignia for the subjective constitution of highly fragile individuals, especially with regard to mood states.
