DSM-V and ICD-10

OK here is a problem I just found out about because it happened just last month:  the United States has no intention of ever adopting the international disease identification resource called ICD-10.  No, that's because we want to hang onto our DSM-V and not do what is essentially "buying into the Euro" and getting rid of all our psychology dollars.  There WAS going to be an adoption of it in 2013, but that was pushed already from 2009 and 2011.  Now the US Dept of Health and Human Services (who knew they existed, where's the FDA?) has indefinitely called it off, basically.  See the Wikipedia article on it:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD-10

The ICD-10 is much more reliable (stable, consistent across cultures and languages, resistant to trends and fads) and valid (accurate, and resistant to favorable interpretations and bribes from drug companies).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_mental_disorders:
There are currently two widely established systems for classifying mental disorders—Chapter V of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) produced by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) produced by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

 Apparently, only the U.S. and China think they are special enough to have their own separate diagnostic categories systems:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Classification_of_Mental_Disorders

And there's one that most people don't even know about:  A modern system based on Freud's psychotherapy system from way back in like 1926 or before (but they swear on the Wikipedia page that it is based on modern neuroscience):
