Summary

This chapter describes the context of the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) related to mental health. It contains an explanation of the procedure adopted in making this revision, some background to the field trials and their results, and a brief account of the main changes; many of which are amplified in the later chapters. A detailed account of the changes in the ICD-11 as compared with the ICD-10 has been published elsewhere,1 as has a detailed comparison of the ICD-11 and the DSM-5.2
