The first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) was published by the
American Psychiatric Association in 1952. Its purpose was to provide clinicians, educators, and
researchers with a common framework to understand and communicate about mental disorders. With a
common understanding about mental disorders, researchers and clinicians could work together in their
attempts to improve care for people with mental illness. The current DSM-5 serves as the official guide
for diagnosing psychiatric disorders. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) sets the global
health information standard for mortality and morbidity statistics. Clinicians and researchers use this
classification system to define diseases, study disease patterns, monitor outcomes, and subsequently
allocate resources based on the prevalence of disease. The Canadian Institute for Health Information
developed an enhanced version of the previous version, ICD-10 referred to as the ICD 10-CA period
that version extends beyond defining and classifying diseases to describe conditions and situations that
are not diseases, including for example, risk factors to health and psychosocial circumstances. A
behavioral health reference manual and NurseOne online are not used as official guides for diagnosis.

A characteristic of mental health increasingly being promoted as essential to the recovery process is
resilience. Resilience is a process and outcome of complex, cultural systems, rather than as an
individual capacity to overcome adversity. In this way, when exposed to adversity, one\u2019s resilience
depends on the navigation and negotiation of resources that can support well-being. Resilience is
closely associated with the process of adapting and helps people facing tragedies, loss, trauma, and
severe stress. An individual who is repressing their stressors may need support for developing coping
strategies. It is important for the individual who is in a depressed state after the death of their spouse to
navigate and negotiate resources that can support their well-being (e.g., grief support or counselling).
An individual living in a shelter needs immediate support and assistance when entering the shelter to
navigate services and supports. Shelters are short-term resources.

Incidence refers to the number of new cases of mental disorders in a healthy population within a given
period of time. Prevalence describes the total number of cases, new and existing, in a given population
during a specific period of time, regardless of when they became ill. Clinical epidemiology is a broad
field that addresses what happens after people with illnesses are seen by clinical care providers.
Comorbidity refers to having more than one mental disorder at a time.
