Slide 1: Title Slide Main Title: DSM-5 cross-cutting symptom measures: a step towards the future of psychiatric care? Subtitle: A Comprehensive Review of Clinical Assessment Tools Slide 2: Section Header Title: Perspective Subtext: Shifting from Categorical to Dimensional Diagnosis Slide 3: Addressing Diagnostic Limitations Bullet Points: The notion that psychiatric disorders occur along dimensional continua rather than categorical entities has long been debated. Research and clinical evidence have illustrated that a categorical diagnostic schema does not accurately reflect the full realms of clinical concerns. In the absence of a fully dimensional diagnostic schema, the integration of dimensional assessments may be clinically useful. Slide 4: The "Review of Mental Systems" Bullet Points: The self- and informant-reported versions were developed by the DSM-5 Task Force to serve as a "review of mental systems." The measures assess the presence and severity of 12-13 psychiatric symptom domains that cut across diagnostic boundaries. The items do not relate to any specific disorder and are not intended to be diagnostic screeners for any disorder. Slide 5: Two-Level Operationalization Level 1 Measure: A brief survey of domains (23-item for adults; 25-item for children/adolescents) of the presence and severity of symptoms over the past two weeks. Level 2 Measure: Detailed assessment of specific symptom domains triggered by clinical thresholds reached during the Level 1 screening process. Slide 6: Level 1 Symptom Domains (Table) Adult Domains: Depression, Anger, Mania, Anxiety, Somatic Symptoms, Sleep Disturbance, Psychosis, Obsessive thoughts/behaviors, Suicidal thoughts/behaviors, Substance Use, Personality Functioning, Dissociation. Child/Adolescent Specifics: Includes Irritability and Inattention. Rated by self (age 11-17) or Parent/Guardian (age 6-17). Memory/Cognition assessed in both. Slide 7: Scoring and Thresholds Highlight: 2+ (Clinical Threshold) Details: Items are rated on a 5-point scale (0=none to 4=severe). A score of 2 (mild/several days) triggers a more detailed Level 2 assessment. Important Note: Substance use, suicidal ideation, and psychosis trigger further assessment at any score of 1 or greater. Slide 8: Assessment Advantages Bullet Points: Ο Easy to administer, score, and interpret, especially in electronic form. Self-administered format facilitates patient engagement in their own assessment and care. Provides a standardized way to communicate about comorbidity, remission, and recovery. Slide 9: Detailed Assessment & Utility Level 2 Measures: Inquire about the presence and severity of symptoms within pure psychiatric domains during the past seven days (e.g., the Altman Mania Scale). Field Testing: Demonstrated mostly good-to-excellent test-retest reliabilities and strong clinical utility from patient perspectives. Slide 10: Potential for Growth Transdiagnostic Identification: Allows for identification of heterogeneity within diagnoses, important for future research and understanding. RDOC Integration: Aligns with the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) to better integrate basic science and neurobiology into assessment. Ο Systemic Shift: Offers an opportunity to consider research needed to maximize clinical potential and tailor patient profiles over time. Slide 11: Conclusions Summary: Efforts to include a standardized battery of dimensional measures represent an important step in moving the field away from a rigid, categorical conceptualization of psychopathology. These assessments may offer a glimpse into what the future of psychiatric care will look like, moving towards a more accurate and fully informed understanding of mental disorders.

Presentation overview
This community presentation was shared by Fuji as a complete 11-slide example. Slide 1: Title Slide Main Title: DSM-5 cross-cutting symptom measures: a step towards the future of psychiatric care? Subtitle: A Comprehensive Review of Clinical Assessment Too… The preview lets you review the full sequence in order, rather than judging the design from a single cover image.
Use it as a reference for planning your own deck: notice how the amount of information changes from slide to slide, where visual emphasis appears, and how repeated design choices help the presentation feel connected. Community examples are inspiration, not locked templates, so you can keep the ideas that fit your audience and replace anything that does not.
Learn from the example
Look at the job each slide performs. Identify where the deck introduces its subject, develops the main points, adds evidence or examples, and moves toward a conclusion.
Notice which element attracts attention first and how headings, supporting text, images, and data are separated. Strong hierarchy makes the intended reading order obvious.
Compare spacing, typography, color, and repeated components across the slides. Consistent rules help varied content feel like one presentation instead of unrelated screens.
Make it your own
Begin with your audience and the decision, lesson, or action the presentation should support. Replace the topic, examples, evidence, and visuals with material you can verify, then edit every slide for one clear takeaway. You can borrow the visual direction without copying the creator's wording or message. Presenton will use this community deck as a design reference while you develop content for your own purpose.
