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).
