| Topic | Transgenderism is no longer a Mental Disorder, per WHO... |

The new ICD also includes new chapters, one on traditional medicine: although millions of people use traditional medicine worldwide, it has never been classified in this system. Another new chapter on sexual health brings together conditions that were previously categorized in other ways (e.g. gender incongruence was listed under mental health conditions) or described differently. Gaming disorder has been added to the section on addictive disorders. "A key principle in this revision was to simplify the coding structure and electronic tooling - this will allow health care professionals to more easily and completely record conditions," says Dr Robert Jakob, Team Leader, Classifications Terminologies and Standards, WHO. So instead of listing it along side things like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia its now listed in a new separate chapter dedicated to sexual health. I'd have to actually read the ICD-11 but it seems like this change doesn't mean anything other than just re-arranging the shelves.
