To Improve Care For People With Mental Illness. The Current DSM-5 Serves As The Official Guide For
Diagnosing Psychiatric Disorders. The International Classification Of Diseases (ICD) Sets The Global Health
Information Standard For Mortality And Morbidity Statistics. Clinicians And Researchers Use This
Classification System To Define Diseases, Study Disease Patterns, Monitor Outcomes, And Subsequently
Allocate Resources Based On The Prevalence Of Disease. The Canadian Institute For Health Information
Developed An Enhanced Version Of The Previous Version, ICD-10 Referred To As The ICD 10-CA Period
That Version Extends Beyond Defining And Classifying Diseases To Describe Conditions And Situations That
Are Not Diseases, Including For Example, Risk Factors To Health And Psychosocial Circumstances. A
