What is the ICD-10?

Mental health practitioners in the United States generally use the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013) to guide their clinical diagnostic practice involving mental disorders in children, adolescents, and adults ( APA, 2013; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2009; World Health Organization [WHO], 2016a ).

What is a Z code in ICd 10?

A section (Z codes) is included in the ICD-10 ( WHO, 2010, 2016a) and in the ICD-10-CM ( CDC, 2015; Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2015 ), which encourages physicians and mental health practitioners to pay attention to patients’ prior exposures to potential health hazards associated with socioeconomic and psychosocial circumstances. These Z codes resemble the “other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention” in the DSM-5 (see the V codes in APA, 2013, pp. 715-727). In the DSM-5, ICD-10, and ICD-10-CM, such conditions (i.e., Z codes or V codes) are not diagnostic categories, but variables that may affect the assessment and diagnosis of mental disorders. In the case of the ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM, such variables should also be considered in the assessment and diagnosis of physical diseases. Table 1 shows examples of Z codes in the ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM, with their respective domain (e.g., Z55: problems related to education and literacy) and examples (e.g., illiteracy or low-level literacy). The Z61 section in Table 1 is not included in the ICD-10-CM. When applicable, in Table 1, the corresponding DSM-5 V code is included after the dash (/; e.g., Z55/V62.3).

What is the difference between the ICD and DSM?

A fundamental difference between the two classification systems is that the ICD is mute regarding the need to consider such variables in this context of diagnosing people with mental disorders, where as the DSM-5 does alert mental health practitioners that they should not make a diagnosis in this context without considering the cultural variables potentially affecting the assessment and diagnosis of such disorders . This difference between the two classification systems is illustrated with a sample of mental disorders in both systems.

What is acculturation stress?

For example, LaFromboise and Malik (2016) observed that acculturation stress is “a system overload associated with navigating differences between two or more cultures” (p. 226). In another source ( Paniagua, 2014 ), acculturation stress is defined “in terms of those situations where an individual perceives his or her norms, values, behaviors, and beliefs are in conflict with the new cultural environment” (p. 21).

What is the separation model of acculturation?

In the separation model of acculturation (also known as “enculturation”), the patient would report (e.g., during individual psychotherapy sessions) that he or she only values behaviors and beliefs of his or her native culture. In this model, the patient (particularly an adolescent) would “maintain his or her cultural/ethnic identity, refusing to adapt to or identify with elements of the host (dominant) culture” ( Paniagua, 2014, p. 19). This model of acculturation may also lead to conflicts among family members, particularly when some members are assimilated into the host culture but others elect to separate from such values and only agree to accept the behavioral patterns and belief system of the culture of origin (i.e., the separation model of acculturation).

What is the ICD-10 classification system?

The ICD-10 discusses mental disorders in chapter 5, and three variants of this classification system are available. The first variant is the ICD-10 Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines (ICD/CDDG-10), which is recommended for general clinical, educational, and service use. The second variant is the ICD-10 Diagnostic Criteria for Research (ICD/DCR-10), which is recommended for research purposes. The ICD/CDDG-10 and the ICD/DCR-10 are both available from WHO (2016a). The third variant of the ICD-10 is suitable for use by coders or clerical workers, but it is not recommended for mental health practitioners ( CDC, 2016; WHO, 2016b ). This article emphasizes the ICD/CDDG-10 because it is the ICD-10 variant that mental health practitioners are expected to use to diagnose mental disorders in all WHO countries, including the United States.

Is the DSM 5 culturally bound?

Although the DSM-5 ( APA, 2013) recognizes the need to consider culture-bound syndromes across some mental disorders (e.g., taijin kyofusho in the case of social anxiety disorder, see APA, 2013, and Box 1 ), the DSM-5 generally emphasizes cultural variations across most disorders. All variants of the ICD, however, are mute in both contexts.
