Gmann_2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi JHilly, I don't know if this will help you, but you can take a look at it, here. http://ptsdhelp2000.com/ptsd1.html AXIS I: MAJOR PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESSES, INCLUDING SUBSTANCE ABUSE. AXISII: PERSONALITY DISORDERS/FEATURES AXIS III: PHYSICAL PROBLEMS (MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS-AS OPPOSED TO A PSYCH DIAGNOSIS) AXIS IV: PSYCHOSOCIAL STRESSORS (homeless, unemployment, marital conflict, etc.) AXIS V: GLOBAL ASSESSMENT of FUNCTIONING SCALE, expressed as: none, mild, moderate, severe and then it'll have numbers listed to represent, eye movement, or non-eye contact, tearful, fearful, and these kinds of assessments. (0 is a drooling brain dead person, 100 is a perfectly functioning individual.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAF of 52 may be a 50% on one guys scale, or a 30% on another scale, and then again a 70% on another examiners scale he uses in his mind... Then aganin I have read the the GAF is not to be used as a actual result for the disability % the GAF is supposed to be used as one of the tools and the rest of the other 4 other AXIS Flip a coin..... or wait..

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted March 27, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 27, 2010 Are you able to work and do you get any form of disability. A GAF of 52 is borderline but it is just an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted March 27, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 27, 2010 vperl - can't be 80%, as PTSD is only rated 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% OR 100%. Also the "examiner" doesn't do the rating but you're correct otherwise. pr ******************************************************* I might just jump in here and mention that even THE GAF seems to mean different things to different examiners...
