Does anyone have any knowledge of other classification systems such as...........

The Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (CCMD)

The French Classification for Child and Adolescent Mental Disorders

The Latin American Guide for Psychiatric Diagnosis

There's also a Japanese system but I've forgotten what it's called....... but I do know that it includes the diagnosis of Taijin Kyofusho 'a Japanese form of social anxiety centered around concern for offending others with inappropriate behavior or offensive appearance'. Anyone here suffer from that?

It's interesting to look at how culture can influence the expression of mental health problems eg. social anxiety in the West tends to revolve around the self rather than other people.
