The WHO recognizes the importance of a psychiatric diagnostic system in primary care. Regarding the revision of ICD‒11 primary health care（ICD‒11‒PHC）, a working group is organized and acts positively. The WG makes the draft of ICD‒11‒PHC. Some new and interesting disease names, such as ANXIOUS DEPRESSION and BODILY STRESS SYNDROME（BSS）, are incorporated in ICD‒11‒PHC. Revision to ICD‒11 continues, and an international Field Trial of ICD‒11‒PHC by the WHO is planned. Participation in the Field Trial of Japanese researchers is expected. We psychiatrists should closely follow trends in interesting new knowledge in ICD‒11‒PHC.
