While the previous editions of DSM and ICD had low agreement for many disorders, the concordance between DSM-5 and ICD-11 is higher than in previous editions. However, there is still some variation in how disorders are defined and classified between the two systems. It's important to note that there is no such thing as perfect agreement between different diagnostic systems, as they are developed based on different cultural, historical, and scientific contexts.
