Question 1- What do you understand by ICD 10?
ICD – International Classification of Diseases is a diagnostic system for mental disorders
published by World Health Organisation (WHO) . ICD10 is the tenth edition. ICD-10 was
endorsed in May 1990 by the Forty-third World Health Assembly. It is cited in more than 20,000
scientific articles and used by more than 100 countries around the world.
The International Classification of deseases (ICD) is the global health information
standard for mortality & morbidity statistics. It is the diagnostic classification standard for all
clinical and research purposes. These include monitoring of the incidence and prevalence of
diseases, observing reimbursements and resource allocation trends, and keeping track of safety
and quality guidelines. About 70% of the world’s health expenditures (USD $ 3.5 billion) are
allocated using ICD for reimbursement and resource allocation. ICD has been translated into 43
languages.
ICD is revised and published in series of editions to reflect advances in health and
medical science over time. The eleventh edition is also in progress and is in final stages of
approval.
Question 2- what do understand by DSM 5?

The Diagnostic and statistical Manual of mental disorders, published by the American
Psychiatric association, is the handbook used most often in diagnosing mental disorders in the
United states and other countries. In making diagnosis, mental health professionals use the
standard terms and definitions in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders
(DSM), a publication tha is periodically revised to reflect the most up to date knowledge
concerning psychological disorders.The title of the book, and the diagnostic system it contains ,
is abbreviated as DSM; that is followed by an indication , in roman numerals, of the edition
currently in use i.e. DSM-5.
More than 200 specific diagnostic categories are described in DSM-5, these are
arranged under 22 primary headings (chapters). All editions of the DSM have generated
considerable controversy, and the fifth edition seems to be no exception. The importance of a
diagnostic manual meeting criteria of reliability and vaidity forms the basis of controversy
regarding DSM-5.
Sham Kumbhar
Although criticized, DSM-5 was written in such a way as to maximize its scientific and clinical
merits. The most significant changes concern the multiaxial sysem- the categorization of
disorders along five separate axis. The authors of DSM-5 decided to eliminate DSM IV- TR
multiaxial sysem and follow the system in use by WHO’s ICD.
