Instructions for closing entries
1)Record closing entries in the general journal.
2)Post the closing entries from the general journal to the relevant general ledger accounts
3)Record the final closing balance of each ledger account in the Post-Closing Balance row of each ledger, even for ledgers with a balance of zero. Although each ledger already has a running balance, the Post-Closing Balance row must still be filled out in order receive full points.

It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose.
