This course will provide practical training on the use of the Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines for ICD-11 Mental, Behavioural or Neurodevelopmental Disorders (CDDG).
The ICD-11 has been approved by the World Health Assembly in May, 2019 and, following a transitional period, will become the new global standard for the reporting of health information.
The CDDG is the diagnostic manual for ICD-11 Mental, Behavioural, or Neurodevelopmental Disorders designed for use by mental health professionals in clinical settings, produced by the WHO Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse.
The course will be primarily geared towards psychiatrists in clinical practice. The main features of the new ICD-11 guidelines and changes from ICD-10 will be described by leading global experts who have been integrally involved in the development of the ICD-11. The course will emphasize active participation through application of the new guidelines to clinical vignettes based on real cases and discussion of diagnostic dilemmas. The course will cover two of the areas of most central concern to psychiatric practice and that account for a great proportion of mental health service utilization: 1) Schizophrenia or Other Primary Psychotic Disorders; 2) Mood Disorders (including Bipolar Disorders and Depressive Disorders).
