How to cite the DSM-5 in text!?!?

APA style.


I've been looking on so many different webpages, and have found conflicting advice. I hate getting references wrong because it's easy marks lost, so is this correct?

For the first in-text reference-

(5th ed.; DSM-5; AmericanPsychiatric Association, 2013)

And then subsequent ones, I've seen either

(DSM-5) or (American Psychiatric Association, 2013)?


Please guys, this is frustrating me no end!
