[The classification of dissociative disorders and bodily distress disorder: A comparison of ICD-10 and ICD-11].

The classification of dissociative disorders and bodily distress disorder: A comparison of ICD-10 and ICD-11 Abstract. There have been some major changes in the classification of dissociative disorders in the transition from ICD-10 to ICD-11. One important revision is the elimination of the term "conversion disorder" from the grouping title as well as the omission of any appraisal of the patient´s behavior or motivation. In ICD-11, the dissociative neurological symptom disorder has gained in importance, reflected in its presentation in the first place of this category. In contrast to ICD-10, dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder) has become a single disorder. Bodily distress disorder has replaced the somatoform disorders of ICD-10 and now includes neurasthenia, while hypochondria was eliminated from this category altogether. Bodily distress disorder is defined by distinct psychological features such as extreme distress but not by the presence or absence of medical findings.
