Axis I is for reporting all
the various disorders or conditions in the
Classification except for the Personality
Disorders and Mental Retardation (which are
reported on Axis II). The major groups of
disorders to be reported on Axis I are listed in
the box below. Also reported on Axis I are Other
Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical
Attention.
When an individual has more
than one Axis I disorder, all of these should be
reported (for examples, see Examples
of How to Record Results of a DSM-IV Multiaxial
Evaluation). If more than one Axis I
disorder is present, the principal diagnosis or
the reason for visit (see Principal
Diagnosis/Reason for Visit) should be
indicated by listing it first. When an
individual has both an Axis I and an Axis II
disorder, the principal diagnosis or the reason
for visit will be assumed to be on Axis I unless
the Axis II diagnosis is followed by the
qualifying phrase "(Principal Diagnosis)" or
"(Reason for Visit)." If no Axis I disorder is
present, this should be coded as V71.09. If an
Axis I diagnosis is deferred, pending the
gathering of additional information, this should
be coded as 799.9.
