- Authors
Rohde, Luis Augusto; Mari, Jair de Jesus; Sartorius, Norman
- Abstract
The authors encourage clinicians to offer suggestions for the revision of the International Classification of the Disorders - 10th edition (ICD-10). They cite that Steven Hyman has been appointed chairman of the Topic Advisor Groups (TAG) Mental Health as part of the revision effort. They state that a system that will enable stakeholders to participate in the ICD revision via Internet is being implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO). They note that an ICD-11 draft will be formulated using a methodology similar to Wikipedia.
