ptsd Ptsd Axis Question

[Jay]

Hello

I was wondering if any one knows what the "X" means as shown in the below GAF scale. I was inpatient for PTSD (Childhood) and this was in the discharge notes. My guess is that this means Childhood PTSD or complex PTSD but I'm probably wrong. Any suggestions? Where can I find the discription for this notation (haven't found it with Google)? Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Axis I: "X" PTSD

Bipolar nos

Axis II Deferred

I spoke with my provider today. The provider wasn't 100% sure but did add that he/she had seen this before. The provider speculated that the "X" meant my PTSD was not caused by the service. My SC for PTSD is due to aggravation. If you find out that the "X" means something totally different please post it.

Thx
