ICD-11 and mental disorders: important changes, controversies, and future directions

Florian Seemüller. BMC Psychiatry. .

Abstract

About a year and a half after publishing ICD-11, we aim to gather initial feedback, comments, opinions, and even recent study results from experts in the relevant fields through this collection. We hope to facilitate a preliminary summary of whether the new classification truly represents progress, and how it has changed treatment, and research of mental illnesses.
