OBJECTIVES To understand the ICD-10 classification of schizophrenia To understand the ICD-11 classification of schizophrenia To discuss the changes that has been made from ICD 10 to ICD 11.
INTRODUCTION Schizophrenia is a disorder that is characterized by distortions of thinking, and perception and by an inappropriate or blunted affect. The disturbances often affects basic functions that gives a person a feeling of individuality , uniqueness and self direction. The international classification of disease manual originated in the 19th century and it has been a basis for comparable statistics on the causes of mortality and morbidity around the world overtime. The latest version ICD-11 was adopted by he 72ndworld health assembly in 2019 and its use came into effect on 1stJanuary, 2022.
EPIDERMIOLOGY According to WHO, schizophrenia affects about 1 in 300 people ( 0.32%) of the the worlds population. Its not as common as many other mental disorders and onset is most often during late adolescence and the twenties and onset tends to happen earlier among men compared to women. In Nigeria, a cross- sectional study carried out in Madonna university teaching hospital between January 2014 to December 2016, it revealed a prevalence rate of 21.6% amongst all the psychiatric disorders seen in the time frame. Another cross- sectional study done in Obafemi Awolowo university teaching hospital in 2019 revealed an estimate of 0.4% prevalence rate in Nigeria.
ICD 1O DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA OF SCHIZOPHRENIA (F20) Symptoms are divided into groups. CATEGORY A SYMPTOMS (A-D) (a) thought echo, thought insertion or withdrawal, and thought broadcasting; (b)delusions of control, influence, or passivity, clearly referred to body or limb movements or specific thoughts, actions, or sensations; delusional perception;
ICD 10 (c)hallucinatory voices giving a running commentary on the patient's behaviour, or discussing the patient among themselves, or other types of hallucinatory voices coming from some part of the body; (d)persistent delusions of other kinds that are culturally inappropriate and completely impossible, such as religious or political identity, or superhuman powers and abilities (e.g. being able to control the weather, or being in communication with aliens from another world);
ICD 10 CATEGORY B SYMPTOMS ( E-I) (e)persistent hallucinations in any modality, when accompanied either by fleeting or half-formed delusions without clear affective content, or by persistent over-valued ideas, or when occurring every day for weeks or months on end; (f)breaks or interpolations in the train of thought, resulting in incoherence or irrelevant speech, or neologisms; (g)catatonic behaviour, such as excitement, posturing, or waxy flexibility, negativism, mutism, and stupor;
ICD 10 CONTD (h)"negative" symptoms such as marked apathy, paucity of speech, and blunting or incongruity of emotional responses, usually resulting in social withdrawal and lowering of social performance; it must be clear that these are not due to depression or to neuroleptic medication; (i)a significant and consistent change in the overall quality of some aspects of personal behaviour, manifest as loss of interest, aimlessness, idleness, a self-absorbed attitude, and social withdrawal.
ICD 10 CONTD The diagnostic criteria of schizophrenia; a minimum of one very clear symptom (and usually two or more if less clear-cut) belonging to any one of the groups listed as (a) to (d) above, or symptoms from at least two of the groups referred to as (e) to (h), Symptoms should have been present for a period of 1 month or more.
ICD 10 CONTD Pattern of course The course of schizophrenic disorders can be classified by using the following five- character codes: F20.x0 Continuous F20.x1 Episodic with progressive deficit F20.x2 Episodic with stable deficit F20.x3 Episodic remittent F20.x4 Incomplete remission F20.x5 Complete remission F20.x8 Other F20.x9 Course uncertain, period of observation too short

ICD 10 CLASSIFICATION CONTD F25 Schizoaffective disorders These are episodic disorders in which both affective and schizophrenic symptoms are prominent within the same episode of illness, preferably simultaneously, but at least within a few days of each other. The diagnostic criteria includes; Prominent elevation of mood, or a less obvious elevation of mood combined With increased irritability or excitement. Within the same episode, at least one and preferably; Two typically schizophrenic symptoms (as specified for schizophrenia (F20.-), diagnostic guidelines (a)-(d)) should be clearly present.
ICD 10 CLASSIFICATION CONTD F25.0 Schizoaffective disorder, manic type There must be a prominent elevation of mood, or a less obvious elevation of mood with increased irritability or excitement. Within the same episode, at least one and preferably two typically schizophrenic symptoms (as specified for schizophrenia (F20.-), diagnostic guidelines (a)-(d)) should be clearly present. F25.1 Schizoaffective disorder, depressive type There must be prominent depression, accompanied by at least two characteristic depressive symptoms or associated behavioural abnormalities as listed for depressive episode Occuring within the same episode, at least one and preferably two typically schizophrenic symptoms (as specified for schizophrenia (F20), diagnostic guidelines (a)-(d)) should be clearly present.

ICD 11 CLASSIFICATION OF SCHIZOPHRENIA ( 6A20) Schizophrenia is characterized by disturbances in multiple mental modalities, Includes thinking (e.g., delusions, disorganization in the form of thought) perception (e.g., hallucinations) self-experience (e.g., the experience that one s feelings, impulses, thoughts, or behaviour are under the control of an external force) cognition (e.g., impaired attention, verbal memory, and social cognition), volition (e.g., loss of motivation)
ICD 11 CHANGES CONTD Affect (e.g., blunted emotional expression) Behaviour (e.g.,behaviour that appears bizarre or purposeless, unpredictable or inappropriate emotional responses that interfere with the organization of behaviour). Psychomotor disturbances, including catatonia, may be present. Persistent delusions, persistent hallucinations, thought disorder, and experiences of influence, passivity, or control are considered core symptoms.

ICD 11 CHANGES CONTD 6A40. Catatonia associated with another mental disorder Can be diagnosed in the context of other specific mental disorders like schizophrenia, mood disorders, Autism spectrum disorders. NOTE: code also the underlying condition 6A41. Catatonia induced by psychoactive substances, including medications Catatonia symptoms that occurs during or shortly after the consumption of a psychoactive substance or during use of a psychoactive medication. 6A4Z. Catatonia, unspecified
CHANGES FROM ICD-10 TO ICD- 11 A. The coding for schizophrenia has been changed from F20 to 6A20. The category of symptoms into A & B has been removed and the symptoms were just listed and considered as core symptoms and should have lasted for at least a month. The subtypes for schizophrenia and the schizoaffective disorders were removed and replaced with episodic occurrences with its pattern of course. Catatonic schizophrenia subtype( F20.2) was replaced with just catatonia Block (BlockL1-6A4) with its substypes 1. Catatonia associated with a mental illness (6A40) 2. Catatonia induced by psychoactive substances, including medications (6A41) 3. Catatonia unspecified (6A4Z)
CONCLUSION The International classification of diseases is an important tool which provides a common language for recording, reporting and monitoring diseases. The revised version 11 simplifies the classification of schizophrenia and this will inturn aid in better diagnosis of the condition and improve the overall outcome of the disorder in terms of treatment .
