Talk:ICD-11

Below is a list of all the "[author] ([year])" narrative citations currently used in this article. Also included are the "[author]" cites, without the "([year])", which are re-citations of a previous "[author] ([year])" cite. These are nr 10, 12, and 13.

Pending the outcome of this RfC, these inline citations may need to be changed.

Personality disorder

1. Many categories overlapped, and individuals with severe disorders often met the requirements for multiple PDs, which Reed et al. (2019) described as "artificial comorbidity".
2. Reed (2018) wrote: "Some research suggests that borderline PD is not an independently valid category, but rather a heterogeneous marker for PD severity.["]

Gaming disorder

3. Aarseth et al. (2017) stated that the evidence base which this decision relied upon is of low quality (...).
4. Rooij et al. (2017) questioned if what was called "gaming disorder" is in fact a coping strategy for underlying problems, such as depression, social anxiety, or ADHD.
5. Bean et al. (2017) wrote that the GD category caters to false stereotypes of gamers as physically unfit and socially awkward (...).
6. In support of the GD category, Lee et al. (2017) agreed that there were major limitations of the existing research (...).
7. Saunders et al. (2017) argued that gaming addiction should be in the ICD-11 just as much as gambling addiction and substance addiction (...).
8. Király and Demetrovics (2017) did not believe that a GD category would lock research into a confirmatory approach, noting that the ICD is regularly revised and characterized by permanent change.
9. Rumpf et al. (2018) noted that stigmatization is a risk not specific to GD alone.
10. Rumpf et al. also warned that (...).

Compulsive sexual behaviour disorder

11. Kraus et al. (2018) noted that several people self-identify as "sex addicts" (...).
12. Experiencing shame and guilt about sex is not a reliable indicator of a sex disorder, Kraus et al. stated.
13. Kraus et al. wrote that, for the ICD-11 (...).

Traditional medicine

14. Morris, Gomes, & Allen (2012) also used the term "International Classification of Traditional Medicine-China, Japan, Korea" (ICTM-CJK).
15. Also, Choi (2020) have used the term "ICD-11-26" to refer to the TM-chapter.
16. Morris, Gomes, & Allen (2012) have stated that Module II will cover ayurveda, that Module III will cover homeopathy, and that Module IV will cover "other TM systems with independent diagnostic conditions in a similar fashion".
17. However, these modules have yet to be made public, and Singh & Rastogi (2018) noted that this "keeps the speculations open for what actually is encompassing under the current domain [of the ICTM]".

NB: 14 and 15 are located inside footnote C. Update (30-4-25): 14–17 are no longer in the article.

I have converted all narrative citations in the article. The RfC that I filed about this showed a consensus *against* using "Author (year)" in-text citing.

See here: Wikipedia talk:Citing sources#RFC on "Author (year)" in-text citing

Furthermore, I have italicized all instances of "et al.". I saw this at Monty Hall problem. I liked it, so I also used it here. Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 16:07, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

The generic description of ICD-11 is currently separated by am enormous section on mental health diseases from relevant links or references. That distracts from the overall ICD description 195.190.29.128 (talk) 16:47, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

It does not distract, because the descriptions are clearly separated by ==Headers==.

The amount of information on mental health in this article is slim compared to the total amount of information available. The Mental disorders section is supposed to be a summary.

Even if the ICD-11 CDDR would get its own article one day, that still means that the main ICD-11 page should have a summary about it, which it has right now.

If you want to add ICD-11 information to this article about topics other than mental health, you are of course welcome! Cheers, Manifestation (talk) 18:27, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

Well, for starters, I have recently published a standalone article on the ICD-11 classification of personality disorders, which was based on some content from here. Not all mental health conditions' ICD-11 inclusion need their own article, but PD in the ICD-11 is notable on its own, as it is sigificantly different from categorical diagnostic systems, and equally to the categories, the ICD's dimensional diagnosis should be covered by Wikipedia. It is obviously different to if ICD-11 just came up with novel criteria for schizophrenia; those would just be covered in the disorder article, if we are being reasonable. This is very different from the very broad Personality disorder article. Thus, I will hereby be WP:BOLD and replace the section in accordance with Wikipedia:Summary style. We could perhaps also look into moving other content to the relevant disorder articles. BlockArranger (talk) 19:49, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

The article seems to imply The Who is slightly tardy in approving newer editions. I apologize for being unfamiliar with this topic. 2603:3014:C06:3C00:5C1:D45C:991D:4C59 (talk) 22:05, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

On 11 February 2022, the WHO stated:

"35 countries are using ICD-11."

On 14 February 2023, the WHO announced:

"Currently 64 Member States are in different stages of ICD-11 implementation."

In May 2024, the WHO stated:

"As of May 2024, two years following the official coming into effect of ICD-11, 132 Member States and areas are at various phases of implementing the new classification system. Specifically, 72 countries have commenced the implementation process, including translation efforts. Additionally, 50 countries are either conducting or expanding implementation pilots, and 14 countries and areas have begun to collect or report data using ICD-11 coding."

The first statement, about 35 countries "using" the ICD-11, sounds like a PR exaggeration to me. I have therefore removed that part from the article. - Manifestation (talk) 10:34, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
