About and Safety

For education, not diagnosis. This Learning Lab uses fictional cases to teach the international WHO ICD-10 classification. It does not assess you or another real person, replace official classification materials, or substitute for comprehensive professional evaluation. Do not enter personal or patient information anywhere on this site.

What this product is

A mastery-oriented educational lab for WHO ICD-10 Chapter V, aimed primarily at undergraduate psychology majors, with postgraduate students and educators as secondary audiences. It teaches classification reasoning through structured content, boundary comparisons, fictional case practice, and misconception repair.

What this product is not

Not a diagnostic tool, symptom checker, or self-assessment instrument.
Not a substitute for authoritative WHO classification publications.
Not a substitute for comprehensive professional clinical assessment.
Not a certification of clinical competence — completing activities here does not certify you to assess, diagnose, or treat real people.
Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by the World Health Organization.

Classification levels, briefly

ICD-10 Chapter V (F00-F99) is organised into a hierarchy: the chapter itself, ten substantive three-character blocks (e.g. F20-F29) plus the separate residual category F99, individual three-character categories within a block (e.g. F20), and sometimes four-character subcategories (e.g. F20.0) that refine a category further.

Legacy and colloquial terminology

Where an official ICD-10 title could be misread through outdated or stigmatising everyday usage, this product notes that explicitly (see the glossary) rather than repeating the misconception. Official ICD-10 titles are preserved where classification fidelity requires them.

Anti-stigma commitment

Fictional cases on this site are written to represent people respectfully: psychosis is not equated with dangerousness or moral failure, and cases vary in age, gender and context without relying on stereotypes.

Build status

This is an early pilot ("vertical slice") build: one category (F20) is built end-to-end as a complete demonstration of the product's educational model. It has not yet passed the independent classification/clinical, educational, and sensitivity review described in the product's governing PRD, and should be treated as a working draft rather than a finished, reviewed educational product.
