The most important change in ICD 11 for child and adolescent psychiatry has been the loss of the childhood specific disorders group. Instead, and in recognition of the lifespan nature of many psychiatric disorders, those that present in children and young people are included with all other disorders, and these apply across all ages. To assist interpretation there are additional clauses relevant to childhood presentations in ICD-11.
Two groups of disorders with an onset that is typically shown in childhood are described in the chapter, the Neurodevelopmental and Dissocial/ Disruptive disorders. Both are aligned with their corresponding DSM-5 categories, but there are some differences. The main innovations in neurodevelopmental disorders are the inclusion and renaming of Mental Retardation.
