ICD-11 vs. DSM-5

What are the differences between the ICD-11 and the DSM-5? The most recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) was published on May 18, 2013 by the American Psychiatric Association.4 Compared to the DSM-5, the ICD-11 is broader both in its scope and its authorship.

While the DSM-5 is published by the APA and has a rather narrow scope focused on North America, the ICD-11 draws its authorship globally and is open to the public for submissions. The ICD-11 also covers medical diseases in addition to mental disorders.2

Finally, there are specific differences in the way different disorders are treated between the two bodies of categorization. For example, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was only just added to the ICD-11 (was not in the ICD-10), while it has long been diagnosed in North America according to the DSM-5.
