The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) is a semistructured interview guide for making the major DSM-5 diagnoses. It is administered by a clinician or trained mental health professional who is familiar with the DSM-5 classification and diagnostic criteria. The interview subjects may be either psychiatric or general medical patients—or individuals who do not identify themselves as patients, such as participants in a community survey of mental illness or family members of psychiatric patients.
Three different versions of the SCID-5 are available for diagnosing the major DSM-5 diagnoses; two SCID-5 versions are available to assess personality disorders as presented in DSM-5.
