Which of the following statements about DSM-5 disorders is TRUE?

The statement that DSM-5 disorders are transcultural with similar symptom presentations is accurate because it acknowledges that while mental health disorders can manifest in various ways across different cultures, many core symptoms remain comparable internationally. The DSM-5 aimed to provide a standardized classification system that allows for a shared understanding of mental health conditions, recognizing that certain symptoms, such as anxiety or depression, can look similar regardless of cultural background.

Cultural considerations are important because they influence how individuals experience and express symptoms. However, the essence of many mental health disorders remains recognizable across different cultures. This similarity highlights the importance of a transcultural approach in understanding and diagnosing disorders while also considering the cultural context of each individual for effective treatment.

The other options reflect misconceptions about the universality and specificity of mental health disorders: not all disorders are unique to specific cultures, as there are many universal disorders; symptoms do not vary greatly to the extent that one could not recognize common patterns; and while some disorders may be culturally bound, the majority have transcultural elements as well. Thus, the correct statement emphasizes the shared characteristics of psychological disorders across diverse cultural contexts.
