What about ICD?

Feb 21, 2010 18:23

Lately we have had this discussion about DSM-V and the fact that Asperger probably won’t be a diagnose in it. Yeah, DSM is big, it’s used all over the world, I just thought it could be mentioned that the diagnose Asperger also is in ICD (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) by WHO. So unless WHO follows the American Psychiatric Association, we will have the situation that WHO recognise Asperger but APA don’t. I don’t know if this is important or even if it’s relevant at all, the thing is just that I have thought about posting this for some days, and at last I did it. And sorry if someone else already have pointed it out.
