Excerpt
- The development of
emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to an identifiable
stressor(s) occurring within 3 months of the onset of the stressor(s).
- These symptoms or behaviors are clinically significant
as evidenced by either of the following:
- marked distress that
is in excess of what would be expected from exposure to the stressor
- significant impairment in social or occupational
(academic) functioning
- The stress-related disturbance does not meet the
criteria for another specific Axis I disorder and is not merely
an exacerbation of a preexisting Axis I or Axis II disorder.
- The symptoms do not represent Bereavement.
- Once the stressor (or its consequences) has terminated,
the symptoms do not persist for more than an additional 6 months.
