INTRODUCTION

The Eleventh Revision of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) was approved by the Seventy-second World Health Assembly, comprising the health ministers of all World Health Organization (WHO) Member States, on 25 May 2019.
It represents the first major, comprehensive revision of ICD in almost 30 years, incorporating advances in:
Scientific evidence
Best clinical practices
Health information systems

ICD is the fundamental global framework for monitoring mortality and morbidity, epidemics and other threats to public health, and disease burden.
The chapter 6 of the ICD-11, contains the Clinical descriptions and diagnostic requirements (CDDR) for ICD-11 mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders.
The development of ICD-11 CDDR was led by the WHO Department of Mental Health and Substance Use, and it’s the most broadly international, multilingual, multidisciplinary and participative revision process ever implemented for a classification of mental disorders.
