Table 2.

The diagnostic criteria differences [1,10,11].

ICD 11 ICD 10 DSM 5
A brand-new chapter is included in the classification. It includes mental disorders related to pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. It determines whether the main features of the disorder are accompanied by psychotic symptoms or not. In the absence of psychotic symptoms, we most often deal with mood disorders. When psychotic symptoms appear, we diagnose mood disorders and primary psychoses, for example from the schizophrenia group. No identical chapter to ICD11.
The diagnosis of postpartum depression applies only to the puerperium (beginning up to 6 weeks after delivery) and exclusion criteria for other diagnoses.
We use the code F53.0: Mild mental and behavioral disorders associated with the puerperium and not otherwise specified: postnatal depression, postpartum depression.
DSM 4: For the first time in the classification, the term “mental disorders with onset after childbirth” is introduced.
Postpartum depression develops within 4 weeks of giving birth.
DSM 5: In depressive disorders, episodes are distinguished in the perinatal period up to 4 weeks after delivery.
When diagnosing psychosis, it should be determined whether it was related to the onset of puerperium up to 4 weeks after delivery.
