- 🌐 The ICD (International Classification of Diseases) is published by the World Health Organization and is more widely used and accessible globally.
- 🆕 The ICD is in its 11th edition, but many countries still use the 10th edition due to the time it takes to update codes and systems.
- 💡 ICD codes are used in the US healthcare system and are crucial for coding cause of death reports worldwide.
- 🤝 The DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 have closely aligned diagnostic criteria, especially for autism, but there are some differences in explanations and examples.
- 🌟 The ICD-11 has updated its classification to align with the DSM-5, combining conditions like Asperger's under autism spectrum disorder.
- 📚 The speaker plans to cover the ICD-11's criteria and explanations for autism spectrum disorder in future content to aid understanding for a broader audience.
Q & A
What are diagnostic manuals used for by professionals?
-Diagnostic manuals are used by professionals as guides to help them in diagnosing and evaluating conditions, including autism.
What do DSM and ICD stand for?
-DSM stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, while ICD stands for International Classification of Diseases, published by the World Health Organization.
Which countries use the DSM-5-TR for psychiatric diagnosis?
-The DSM-5-TR is used in the United States, and also in some other countries including Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
How has the classification of autism changed from DSM-IV to DSM-5?
-In the DSM-IV, autism, Asperger's, and PDD-NOS were separate categories. The DSM-5, however, combines these under one category called autism spectrum disorders and establishes support levels.
What is the ICD used for besides diagnosing psychiatric conditions?
-The ICD is used for coding causes of death reports and other health-related conditions, not just psychiatric diagnoses.
Why is the ICD considered more accessible than the DSM?
-The ICD is considered more accessible because it is usually low cost, provided in multiple languages, and available for free online.
How do the DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 compare in terms of diagnostic criteria for autism?
-The DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 track very closely in diagnostic criteria for autism, with the ICD-11 following the DSM-5's lead in classifying Asperger's and other conditions under autism spectrum disorder.
What are some differences between the ICD and DSM when it comes to autism spectrum disorder?
-While the criteria are similar, there are explanatory differences, including the technicalities of criteria, explanations, and examples that might look different between countries using the DSM and those using the ICD.
Why might there be disparities in definitions between the DSM and ICD?
-Disparities can arise because different countries use different versions of the manuals and may have different coding practices, leading to variations in how conditions like autism are defined and understood.
What does the speaker plan to do in the future regarding the ICD-11?
-The speaker plans to go over the criteria and explanations for autism spectrum disorder in the ICD-11 to help more people in other countries who may not follow the DSM.
How often does the speaker upload content, and what time is it usually posted?
-The speaker tries to upload content every Thursday at 4 p.m. Central Standard Time, although this schedule may not always be consistent.
