Summary

The launch (2018) and approval (2019) of the 11th Revision of the ICD (ICD-11) by the World Health Organization (WHO) provided a major opportunity to bring the ICD classification of Mental, Behavioural, or Neurodevelopmental Disorders (MBND) into line with current empirical evidence and clinical practice. It is expected to enhance the global applicability and clinical utility of ICD improving evidence-based interventions.

This chapter represents an overview of essential and associated features required to diagnose schizophrenia or other primary psychotic disorders, to examine diagnostic boundaries from normality to pathology, and provide differential diagnosis with other disorders together with common comorbidities. Additionally, the key changes and advantages of ICD-11 classification of mental disorders compared to ICD-10 and DSM-5 are provided.
