ICD-10 and ICD-11 are important systems for organizing information about mental health issues. They help doctors understand and diagnose these disorders, but there are some challenges that come with these changes.

1. Complexity
Switching from ICD-10 to ICD-11 is not simple. It can be tough for health professionals to learn the new way of classifying issues, which might lead to mix-ups in diagnoses.

2. Cultural Sensitivity
ICD-11 tries to be more sensitive to different cultures. However, it still has some problems. People from various cultures may see mental health issues differently. This can cause confusion and inconsistencies in how disorders are classified around the world.

3. Training Requirements
Many doctors and health workers might not have enough training to understand ICD-11 well. Without proper training, they may not use the improved system to its fullest potential.

4. Data Integration
Bringing together health data can be hard, especially in areas with fewer resources. This makes it difficult to gather complete information about mental health and understand psychological issues globally.

Solutions

• We need to create training programs for health professionals. This can help them better understand and use the new classifications.
• More money for research focusing on cultural views of mental health can lead to better ways to classify and treat these disorders.
• Working together internationally can help create standard methods for collecting data in different health systems.
