CONFERENCE ABSTRACT
Current status of the
Classification of Mental and Behavioural
Disorders in ICD-11
Major
goals of the WHO Department of Mental Health and
Substance Abuse for the ICD-11 include
incorporating new scientific knowledge and
changes in clinical practice that have developed
over the past two decades, improving the
ICD-11’s effectiveness as a tool for reducing
global disease burden and disability, improving
the classification’s utility in daily health
care practice throughout the world and making
the ICD-11 compatible with new health
information system technology. This presentation
will review the major innovations and
improvements that have been proposed for the
ICD-11 classification of mental and
behaviouraldisorders based on these aims. The
presentation will also describe substantive
differences between the proposals for ICD-11 and
DSM-5, based on WHO’s review of the global
evidence and considerations of global clinical.
These include new diagnostic categories proposed
for ICD-11 that are not incorporated in DSM-5
(e.g., Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder),
additions to DSM-5 that have not been accepted
for ICD-11 (e.g., Dysphoric Mood Dysregulation
Disorder), and areas that are substantially
different in content and organization across the
two systems (e.g., Personality Disorders).
