[The draft of the ICD-11 chapter on mental and behavioral disorders: an update for clinicians].
The ICD-11 chapter on mental and behavioral disorders is currently under development. A simplified version of the diagnostic guidelines for schizophrenia and other primary psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, disorders specifically associated with stress, and feeding and eating disorders has been made available for use in the field studies. For all the other sections of the classification, a brief general definition and sometimes a description of some of the included disorders can be found on the ICD-11 beta platform. In the present article, we provide some information on the content of the various sections of the classification on the basis of the available documents, with the warning that some of the aspects may still be subject to revision.
