Relevance. On 01.01.2023, the 11th revision of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health-related Problems (ICD-11) will be introduced worldwide. Intention. To conduct a comparative analysis of the changes made to the eleventh revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health–Related Problems (ICD-11), which are associated with the concept of «neurotic disorders». Methodology. A descriptive methodological analysis of two editions of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health–Related Problems – 10 (ICD-10) and 11 (ICD-11) was used. Results and Discussion. The concept of «neurotic disorder» leaves the ICD-11 and a monothematic approach to the diagnosis of diseases comes to the fore, which unites disorders into homogeneous groups in essence. Neurotic disorders in their more traditional sense have not disappeared, and the new version of the ICD reflects new scientific achievements necessary for specific purposes of the health system. Conclusion. The results of the analysis demonstrate how the classification of neurotic disorders is organized now, in the new version of ICD-11. The article is intended primarily for doctors and clinical psychologists.
