  • Classification Systems
    • ICD
      • CURRENT = ICD-11
      • ICD-10 included 10 groups of mental health such as delusional disorder, mood disorder, clinical disorder etc.
      • BASES DIAGNOSES AROUND  SYSTEMS
        • Section F of the ICD - specific for mental health disorders
          • with the more digits you go down the morn specific the subtype of the disorder
            • eg. F32.0 is mild depression
            • this coding allows easy and specific diagnosis
    • DSM
      • Most used
      • first created 1952 would have things listed on it as mental illness that would not be accepted/belived today eg. being gay
      • CURRENT = DSM 5
      • DSM 5 has removed the 5 AXES!!!
        • Has CHANGED SCIZOPHERNIA SUBTYPES BY removing those that lack validity and reliability
    • as our understanding of mental health evolves, both classification systems are updated over time - DSM IS NOW UPDATED AT REG. INTERVALS
    • WE FOCUS MAINLY ON DSM
    • EVALUATION OF    CLASSIFICATION TYPES
      • Allows common diagnosis to be given
      • Manuals are OBJECTIVE in how they define a disorder, meaning the same diagnosis can be given universally
      • By splitting disorders into list of symptoms makes classification reductionist
      • Diagnosis can lead to labelling, could create SFP and societies negative treatment
      • Not everyone believes in treatment, in particular those that follow a medical model
