Moral injury refers to the psychological distress that arises when an individual's moral understanding is disrupted, often due to actions taken or witnessed that violate deeply held beliefs about right and wrong. Recent efforts by researchers, including those at Harvard's Human Flourishing Program, have sought to unify the concepts of moral injury and moral distress, leading to the introduction of a new DSM-5 code for moral problems. This code aims to facilitate better clinical care for those affected by moral trauma, which can manifest in various forms, including guilt, shame, and loss of trust. The recognition of moral injury in the DSM-5 is a pivotal development, as it underscores the importance of addressing moral and ethical dimensions in mental health treatment, ultimately fostering a more holistic approach to patient care.
