If you have diagnosis of a mental disorder, then that would be an Axis I, If you were also diagnosed with a PD, wouldn't that be a AXIS II ?
Axis ! Mental disorder
Axis II PD
Axis III Other diagnosed problems
AxisIV Limited Mobility, unemployable
Axis V GAF
Here is how my current AXIS reads:
AXIS I Disthymia with MDE (major Depression episodes) and anxiety
AXIS II Defferred
AXIS III Hypothyroidism
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Mild
Sleep/Nocturnal hypoxia/with O2 during sleep
Mild-moderate periodic limb movement disorder
Hypertention
Dylipidemia
Restrictive lung disease
DM II
Sarcoidosis/Autoimmune disease
Adjustment disorder with anxiety
Osteoarthritis of knees
Chronic sinisitis
AXIS IV Limited mobility, unemployable
AXIS V 50
Since I have been treated for the AXIS I and AXIS III problems, AXIS II has always been listed as deferred, at no time has their been a PD noted or opinioned or diagnosed. Thats been about four years
Question: Since diagnosis are supposed to conform to the DSM III/IV and my PD diagnosed 30 plus years ago does not seem to conform thusly. Is this a case where a more liberal interpretation of PDs that is more favorable to a veterans claim be a reason to reopen the claim if it has been noted in current medical records that I don't have a PD that conforms to DSM III/IV ?
I hope this makes since.
