Why differences between axis 1 and axis 2 important?

The differences are important because Axis II disorders are only personality disorders and mental retardation (Trait disorders as opposed to the state disorders listed on Axis I). Axis II disorders are those that have an enduring pattern which is inflexible and pervasive across a broad range of personal and social situations. The individuals pattern is stable of long duration and its onset can be traced back at least to adolescence or early adulthood. Axis I disorders conversely are may not be as pervasive and carry throughout ones lifespan. It is important to list Axis II disorders separately from Axis I so that the clinician will give adequate consideration to it as they might otherwise be overlooked in the face of the more florid Axis I disorders.


Are learning disorders Axis I or Axis II disorders?

Learning disabilities are on Axis II.Actually learning disabilities are listed under Axis 1.Axis I focuses on clinical disorders. This axis includes diagnoses like Dementia, Schizophrenia and other Psychotic Disorders, Mood Disorders (like Depression), Anxiety Disorders, Learning Disorders, Eating Disorders, and Adjustment Disorders. It's also important to note that Substance-Related Disorders fall under Axis I.Axis II deals with Personality Disorders like Antisocial Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. While many disorders ordinarily diagnosed during childhood (i.e. Learning Disorders, Autism, etc) fall under Axis I of the DSM, the DSM classifies Mental Retardation in general under Axis II.

What are the similarities and differences between dsm iv and dsm iv tr?

ICD 10. It has two different criteria. Clinical criteria are qualitative and picture-fitting. Research criteria are quantitative and menu-driven. DSM-IV has only menu driven criteria. Thus inter-rater reliability for DSM-IV diagnoses are poor due to poor adherence to quantitative criteria in actual practice. ICD 10 encourages selection of one diagnosis, whereas DSM-IV allows selection of as many diagnoses as fit the criteria. Diagnostic categorical differences. In DSM IV, schizophrenic symptoms are required to be present for six months unless florid, whereas in ICD 10 it is only 1 month. IN DSM IV conversion and dissociative disorders are distinguished, not in ICD 10. In DSM IV there are two types of anorexia (binging and non), and two types of bulimia (purging and non), whereas in ICD 10 there is simply anorexia, bulimia, and undefined atypical forms. Axial Systems IN ICD 10 the axial system is as follows: AXIS I: Clinical psychiatric syndromes AXIS II: Specific disorders of development AXIS III: Intellectual level AXIS IV: Associated medical conditions AXIS V: Associated abnormal psychosocial conditions AXIS VI: Global Social Functioning Note that in ICD 10, AXIS I includes pschiatric disorders, personality disorders, and mental retardation, but not disability. In ICD 10, Axis II is similar to DSM IV Axis V, Global Assessment of Function... (I don't think it could be any more confusing than this!) In DSM IV, the axial system is like this: AXIS 1: Clinical psychiatric disorders AXIS II: Personality disorders, mental retardation, maladaptive personality.behavior AXIS III: General medical disorders. AXIS IV: PSychosocial/envrionmental stressors. AXIS V: Global Assessment of Function. Note that in DSM-IV, autism is AXIS 1, substance abuse is AXIS 1, OCD is AXIS I but OCPD is AXIS II.
