The International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death (ICD) is a listing of all diseases and mental disorders. It is not heavily influenced by psychoanalytic theory and is not developed by the American Psychological Association (APA). It is used by both physicians and psychologists, but the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is the main classification system used by psychologists in North America.
