The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is a widely used classification system for mental health disorders. It provides criteria for diagnosing mental illnesses and helps in standardizing diagnoses among mental health professionals. The DSM is regularly updated to reflect advances in our understanding of mental health.
The DSM IV Diagnostic manual was first published in 1994. The DSM IV - TR is a text revision published in 2000. So the most current edition is indeed the DSM IV - TR. The DSM V is due in 2012 and may be very different from the current style. See http://www.psych.org/mainmenu/research/dsmiv/dsmivtr.aspx for more info.
DSM stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, released by the American Psychiatric Association. DSM-IV and DSM-V are just the fourth and fifth editions of the manual, respectively. The fourth edition was released in 1994, and the fifth edition is currently in the planning and consultation phase, on its way to being published. So the fifth edition is just an update to the previous edition.
There is no specific Axis II DSM code for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In the DSM-5, ADHD is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder and is diagnosed on Axis I.
A link to the complete DSM-IV online is in the "related links" section below. ...(improving here...this link is broken and attempts to lead to a subscription site. I suggest using the DSM V which is online with revisions pending)
In the DSM-IV, there is no specific diagnosis or category known as a "midnight personality." It could be a colloquial or nonclinical term that is not recognized within the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-IV.
