Mental health conditions in the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region affect more than 10% of the population, with 140,000 lives lost annually to suicide. Comorbidity with other diseases is high. However, basic mental health care is received by less than a third of patients. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the vulnerability of mental health services to disruptions and underscored the need to integrate mental health into response strategies. One of the flagship initiatives of the WHO European Programme of Work (EPW), 20202025: United Action for Better Health in Europe is the establishment of a Mental Health Coalition at the European level. In this framework, reporting of health statistics using the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11) will begin on 1st January 2022. Clinical utility, scientific rigour and wider cultural applicability were all of prime importance in the development of the ICD-11. The 11th Revision was the end product of the most extensive global, multilingual, multidisciplinary and participative process ever undertaken for this task, involving more than 15,000 experts from 155 countries, representing approximately 80% of the worlds population. With the adoption of the ICD-11 and the priority being given to mental health, new ideas based on the 30 years of research since the approval of the ICD-10 will be widely adopted and applied.

This paper gives a brief outline of the present state of development of the psychiatric chapter of the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). It is written from the point of view of one of the many consultants to the Division of Mental Health, World Health Organization (WHO), Geneva, and thus is not an authoritative or official statement on behalf of WHO. The responsibility for decisions about ICD-10 Chapter V (F) rests with Dr Norman Sartorius, Director of the Division of Mental Health, though many psychiatrists in many countries have contributed to ICD-10 Chapter V (F), and will continue to do so, since much work is still to be done before the final form is officially agreed and published in about 1990. Before he left WHO, Geneva in September, 1986, Dr Assen Jablensky also carried a great deal of responsibility for the arrangements necessary for the production of the drafts of ICD-10 Chapter V (F) that are now being developed.

SummaryStandardization of nomenclature and terminology used in the field of mental health has been one of the main goals of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Mental Health Programme among recent activities undertaken to achieve this goal, is the development of definition and guidelines accompanying the chapter dealing with mental disorders in the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and of a set of instruments for the assessment of mental disorders. To enhance common understanding and uniformity of usage of the terms embedded in the classification and instruments and to facilitate their use in different cultures and settings, a series of lexica and glossaries has also been produced by WHO. The article describes the basic characteristics of the Lexicon of psychiatric and mental health terms, 2nd edition; Lexicon of alcohol and drug terms; Lexicon of crosscultural terms in mental health; SCAN glossary; and the ICD-10 symptom glossary for mental disorders.

The psychiatric section, entitled ‘Mental, Behavioural and Developmental Disorders‘ of the International Classification of Diseases, is currently in the process of revision, and ‘ICD—10‘ will shortly become available. This revision will be based partly on its immediate predecessor, the 9th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD—9; World Health Organization, 1978), and also upon the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM—III—R; American Psychiatric Association, 1987). ICD—10 describes and lists symptoms required for making each specific diagnosis and it also refers to inclusions and exclusions. The symptoms themselves, however, are not defined nor described, and an ill-informed method of evaluating symptoms or a lack of thoroughness in their ascertainment will result in mistaken diagnoses. The descriptive psychopathologist clearly has a part to play in encouraging accurate usage.

Abstract Objective To study the newly adopted International Classification of Diseases 11th revision (ICD-11) and compare it to the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) and International Classification of Diseases 10th revision-Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM). Materials and Methods : Data files and maps were downloaded from the World Health Organization (WHO) website and through the application programming interfaces. A round trip method based on the WHO maps was used to identify equivalent codes between ICD-10 and ICD-11, which were validated by limited manual review. ICD-11 terms were mapped to ICD-10-CM through normalized lexical mapping. ICD-10-CM codes in 6 disease areas were also manually recoded in ICD-11. Results Excluding the chapters for traditional medicine, functioning assessment, and extension codes for postcoordination, ICD-11 has 14 622 leaf codes (codes that can be used in coding) compared to ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM, which has 10 607 and 71 932 leaf codes, respectively. We identified 4037 pairs of ICD-10 and ICD-11 codes that were equivalent (estimated accuracy of 96%) by our round trip method. Lexical matching between ICD-11 and ICD-10-CM identified 4059 pairs of possibly equivalent codes. Manual recoding showed that 60% of a sample of 388 ICD-10-CM codes could be fully represented in ICD-11 by precoordinated codes or postcoordination. Conclusion In ICD-11, there is a moderate increase in the number of codes over ICD-10. With postcoordination, it is possible to fully represent the meaning of a high proportion of ICD-10-CM codes, especially with the addition of a limited number of extension codes.

La discapacidad intelectual (DI) o retraso mental tiene una prevalencia del 2-3% en la población general y se define como una alteración del neurodesarrollo que inicia antes de los 18 años. Se caracteriza por limitación importante en el funcionamiento intelectual y en el comportamiento adaptativo en áreas como comunicación y uso de fuentes para la misma, autocuidado, relaciones sociales o interpersonales, autodirección, funciones académicas, salud y seguridad.1,2 La DI se determina por un coeficiente intelectual (CI) menor de 70 puntos mediante escalas como la International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V) y la clasificación World Health Organization (WHO).

The International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps (the ICIDH) was developed in the 1970s as an extension of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD). It was developed principally to meet the criticisms of ICD users who thought that the ICD (a) did not sufficiently cover the impact of a given disease on an individual and the society in which he or she lived, and (b) was unable to describe the heterogeneity of the clinical expression of a disorder and the disorder's variable evolution in different individuals and societies. The ICIDH was first published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1980 and is currently undergoing its first major revision. In this revision process, psychiatry is being given an important place in response to complaints of users that the ICIDH presently has limited application in the mental health field. In a brief discussion here, I would like to describe the role of the ICIDH in relation to mental health—and to psychogeriatrics in particular—drawing on a number of debates in which I have been involved over the past few years.

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) is in the process of developing the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD–11). Part of this process includes replacing mental retardation with a more acceptable term to identify the condition. The current international consensus appears to be replacing mental retardation with intellectual disability. This article briefly presents some of the issues involved in changing terminology and the constraints and conventions that are specific to the ICD.

IntroductionThis paper will review the major objectives and study design of the Field Trials of the draft chapter on Mental Behavioural and Developmental Disorders in the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), now in preparation. The text used in this Field Trial is the Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines, which is more elaborate than the Short Glossary for this chapter that will be published in the main volume of ICD-10. The text for the former will be published together with the Diagnostic Criteria for Research and other parts of the WHO family of instruments relevant to mental health.
