Question
Curleysue
Have a question regarding a C&P I got back, background just separated from the military, honorable discharge, just got out to take care of medical and start new. I recieved this as my axis for depression at which I thought was secondary to Hypothyroidism, I think this means they think it is a primary.
Axis I: Depressive disorder, NOS
Axis II: No diagnosis
Axis III: Hypothyroid Disorder: Chronic Back Pain
Axis IV: Problems related to chronic medical disorder
Axix V: Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF): 50
her remarks were:
The Veteran's symptoms of depression started during the context of the veteran's diagnosis of hypothyrodism. However, the veteran's symptoms of depression and anxiety have continued and worsened after being medically treated for Hypothyroidism. Thus, it is more likely than not that the Veteran's Symptoms of depression and anxiety was initiated by the Thyroid Disease; however these symptoms have persistented greatly and thus warrant a primary diagnosis of Depressive Disorder, NOS at this time.
Any idea of what this could possibly be rated?
