@Tilly Please note that Jen was asked: "Jen, are you medically qualified to make statements like this?" in response to her statement: "Now I just saw someone with what looks like an obvious skull base leak." And consider this post, from August 3: As a non medic, myself, I would not...

Note that towards the end of Page 2 of the CDC, 2001 document, it states: "ICD-10-CM "In keeping with the placement in the ICD-10, chronic fatigue syndrome (and its synonymous terms) will remain at G93.3 in ICD-10-CM..." This didn't happen. Although NCHS/CDC adopted the WHO's ICD-10 for...

Status of the publication of the ICD-11 CDDG: For ICD-11, the WHO Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse has developed the “Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines (CDDG) for ICD‐11 Mental, Behavioural and Neurodevelopmental Disorders” (an equivalent publication to ICD-10’s...

If you haven't come across the term "compensation neurosis" (and I haven't seen the term referenced in any papers I've read since 2010 discussing somatoform disorders, MUS, FSSs etc): "Compensation neurosis" was an inclusion term in ICD-9 under code 300.1. In ICD-10, it is listed in the...

I have it on good authority that publication of the ICD-11 Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines for Mental and Behavioural Disorders (CDDG) - which is ICD-11's equivalent publication to the ICD-10 "Blue Book" - is likely to be held back until next year, as some disorders are still...

Indeed, and that reminds me that I need to chase Dr Mathew Mercuri, the incoming Editor-in-Chief of JECP, for the status of my request for a correction/corrigenda for the PD White commentary. The last I heard from Dr Mercuri (by email, August 14, 2019), he had followed up on my suggestion that...

The paper states: Reference 120 is for the paper: Budtz-Lilly, A.; Schröder, A.; Rask, M.T.; Fink, P.; Vestergaard, M.; Rosendal, M. Bodily distress syndrome: A new diagnosis for functional disorders in primary care? BMC Fam. Pract. 2015, 16, 180. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] [PubMed] These...

But the DSM-5 has Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) to which ICD-11's BDD is conceptually aligned, and which is already being used in the U.S. and beyond - and which poses a similar threat to patients in those countries that use the DSM as BDD's inclusion in ICD-11 will eventually pose.

(Expand to display my highlighting) Note that the ICD-11 Bodily distress disorder (BDD) diagnosis can be applied not just to pain as a symptom (where it mirrors the ICD-10 F45.4 Persistent somatoform pain disorder as one of the ICD-10 F45.x categories which BDD subsumes and replaces), but to...

No, sorry, I am retired now.

This is an important alert about a recent development with SNOMED CT terminology system. As some of you will be aware, I am now retired from active advocacy work around coding, classification and terminology systems. I am very concerned that no UK or international group or organization...
