A little nugget of info..

 

“ What is the relationship between DSM and the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Disease?

 

DSM–5 and the ICD should be thought of as companion publications. DSM–5 contains the most up-to-date criteria for diagnosing mental disorders, along with extensive descriptive text, providing a common language for clinicians to communicate about their patients. The ICD contains the code numbers used in DSM–5 and all of medicine, needed for insurance reimbursement and for monitoring of morbidity and mortality statistics by national and international health agencies. The APA works closely with staff from the WHO, CMS, and CDC-NCHS to ensure that the two systems are maximally compatible.”
