Asthma is classified under DSM-IV Axis III, which pertains to medical conditions that may be relevant to the understanding or management of mental disorders.

Axis IV refers to the classification of psychosocial and environmental problems in the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition). It encompasses a range of stressors that may affect an individual’s mental health, including issues related to family, work, housing, social relationships, and economic difficulties. These factors can significantly influence the development, treatment, and prognosis of mental health disorders. While the DSM-5 has since moved away from the multiaxial system, understanding Axis IV remains important for recognizing the broader context of a patient's life.
The five axes of the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition) represent a comprehensive framework for diagnosing mental health disorders. Axis I includes clinical disorders and other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention; Axis II covers personality disorders and intellectual disabilities; Axis III addresses general medical conditions; Axis IV considers psychosocial and environmental factors affecting the individual; and Axis V provides a Global Assessment of Functioning score to evaluate overall functioning. This multi-axial system aimed to provide a holistic view of the individual's mental health.
The Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale in the DSM-IV-TR is the axis that contains an overall judgment made by a psychological professional of the person's mental health and adjustment based on a scale from 0 to 100. This scale takes into account psychological, social, and occupational functioning.
In psychiatry, "axis" refers to a classification system used in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) to organize and assess mental health disorders. Historically, the DSM-IV utilized a multi-axial system that included five axes to capture different dimensions of a person's mental health, including clinical disorders, personality disorders, medical conditions, psychosocial factors, and overall functioning. This system aimed to provide a comprehensive view of an individual's mental health status. However, the DSM-5 has since moved away from this multi-axial approach.
Autism is not classified under the Axis system. The Axis system was used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) for psychiatric diagnoses, but the most recent edition, DSM-5, no longer uses this system. Autism spectrum disorder is now considered a neurodevelopmental disorder in its own category.

Noncompliance can also be associated with Axis I disorders, where the underlying condition may affect the individual's ability to adhere to treatment. Overall, it is viewed as a complex phenomenon that may require consideration of various factors, including the patient's mental state and external circumstances.
