International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and neurologic disorders: The future
When the WHO’s Topic Advisory Group for Neurology (TAG) started work on revision of the ICD-10 diagnostic codes in June 2009, the issues were daunting. The existing classification was produced a generation ago and the need to move to the digital age was becoming imperative. Appreciating modern advances in genetics and immunology, and the consequent changes in understanding of the pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system, WHO's charge to the TAG was to produce a comprehensive, up-to-date disease classification, while providing published or consensus evidence for each coding change. In addition, the task woul...

ICD-11 should not repeat the mistakes made by DSM-5.
Authors: Frances AJ, Nardo JM
Abstract
Having two systems of psychiatric diagnosis creates unnecessary confusion therefore it would be desirable to achieve increased consistency between ICD-11 and DSM-5. Unfortunately, however, DSM-5 has included many controversial suggestions that have weak scientific support and insufficient risk-benefit analysis. As a result ICD-11 should learn from the DSM-5 mistakes rather than repeating them.

Lack of Use in the Literature From the Last 20 Years Supports Dropping Traditional Schizophrenia Subtypes From DSM-5 and ICD-11
The diagnoses of paranoia, catatonia, and hebephrenia preceded the use of dementia praecox and Bleuler’s subsequent recognition of a heterogenous "Group of Schizophrenias." With some modification, traditional schizophrenia subtypes have been formalized for many years in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) classification systems. While widely used in the past, it is not clear that the schizophrenia subtypes remain in wide use or are influential in 21st-century research and clinical practice, and especially in the scientific literature. A re...

The DSM-5: Classification and criteria changes.
Abstract
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) marks the first significant revision of the publication since the DSM-IV in 1994. Changes to the DSM were largely informed by advancements in neuroscience, clinical and public health need, and identified problems with the classification system and criteria put forth in the DSM-IV. Much of the decision-making was also driven by a desire to ensure better alignment with the International Classification of Diseases and its upcoming 11th edition (ICD-11). In this paper, we describe select revisions in the DSM-5, with an em...

[Editorial] A revolution in psychiatry
The furore surrounding new versions of the two major classification systems in psychiatry (DSM-5 and ICD-11) is giving way to a more fundamental debate about the nature and origin of mental illness. While recognising the pragmatic benefits of symptom-based approaches, clinicians and researchers look forward to a new era of diagnosis and treatment based on underlying cause. (Source: LANCET)

Inclusion of latent tuberculosis infection as a separate entity into the international classification of diseases
The 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) proposed by the WHO is currently in the consultation phase. In common with previous versions of the ICD this revised version does not contain a code for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), contrasting with the inclusion of a large number of codes for various manifestations of active tuberculosis (TB). Inclusion of a separate code for LTBI into ICD-11 is critically important for epidemiological, clinical and research purposes. On behalf of the Paediatric Tuberculosis Network European Trialsgroup, we encourage colleagues worldwide who are caring for...

Psychotic disorders in ICD-11.
Authors: Gaebel W, Zielasek J, Cleveland HR
Abstract
In the process of revising ICD-10, the World Health Organization (WHO) has appointed a Working Group on the Classification of Psychotic Disorders (WGPD). Several changes to the classification criteria of schizophrenia and other primary psychotic disorders have been proposed with the aim of increasing the clinical utility, reliability and validity of the diagnostic classification. These proposals will be tested in field trials and subsequently revised according to the needs of clinical practice before final publication in 2015. The main proposals include ...

What happened to harmonization of the PTSD diagnosis? The divergence of ICD11 and DSM5.
Authors: Bisson JI
Abstract
The development of ICD11 and DSM5 was seen as an opportunity to harmonize the two major classification systems for mental disorders. The proposed ICD11 and DSM5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD are markedly different. The implications of this remain to be seen, but have the potential to cause confusion to PTSD sufferers, clinicians, researchers and others impacted on by the condition.

The association between psychotic mania, psychotic depression and mixed affective episodes among 14,529 patients with bipolar disorder
Conclusions: According to this register-based study, PD, PM and MAE are all associated with one another. This knowledge should be taken into consideration by clinicians when monitoring patients with bipolar disorder and by nosologists when defining the criteria and potential subtypes for mixed affective episodes for the upcoming DSM-5 and ICD-11.

[Editorial] A shifting view of neurodevelopmental disability
The challenges that lie ahead in identifying the causes and pathogenic mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disabilities have been brought into focus by heated debates surrounding the development of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-5). DSM-5 is scheduled for release in May, 2013, and the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases ( ICD-11), which is expected to harmonise with DSM-5, is underway.

Psychiatry's catch 22, need for precision, and placing schools in perspective
Ajai R SinghMens Sana Monographs 2013 11(1):42-58The catch 22 situation in psychiatry is that for precise diagnostic categories/criteria, we need precise investigative tests, and for precise investigative tests, we need precise diagnostic criteria/categories; and precision in both diagnostics and investigative tests is nonexistent at present. The effort to establish clarity often results in a fresh maze of evidence. In finding the way forward, it is tempting to abandon the scientific method, but that is not possible, since we deal with real human psychopathology, not just concepts to speculate over. Search for clear-cut de...
