title: The classification of anxiety disorders in current and future classifications.
abstract: Comments are made on the main categories by which specific states of morbid anxiety are classified in the ICD-9, ICD-10, DSM-III and DSM-III-R. The latest classifications, ICD-10 and DSM-III-R, contain many more such categories than ICD-9, and although they differ in the priority given to panic versus agoraphobia, the content is very largely similar. ICD-10 contains several categories of special interest to mental health workers in developing countries and primary health care.
