DSM: It is used in the United States of America and in varying degrees around the world, by clinicians, researchers, psychiatric drug regulation agencies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and policy makers.
ICD: The ICD is the international standard diagnostic classification for all general epidemiological, many health management purposes and clinical use.

There isn't primarily that many different differences between who uses it (it would be more likely a country basis rather then qualification basis), but both provide distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Course - it's pathway...how you'll get owned by the disorder
Prevalence - how common it is

It generalises for an adult population and provides information if you only have a set number of symptoms and not below.

As DSM is categorical, some limitations include a substantial loss of information, stigmatisation, some disorders have low reliability (such as personality) and some categories as well as subcategories overlap.

disorders do not overlap....symptoms may overlap causing difficulty in diagnosis.

Sorry yeah, many symptoms are not specific to a single disorder.
