Psychological stressors.
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.
What does Axis I, Axis II, Axis III, Axis IV and Axis V when used with a mental diagnoses? Could you please give more information. Was AXIS diagnosed in an adolescent or due to alcohol or drug abuse? Thank you
Axis I
It depends on the symptoms. There are many categories of mental health diseases. The two major systems that classify mental disorders: World Health Organization (WHO) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM - IV) which is a medical book that is updated, and what most physicians would base a diagnosis on.

While megalomania and narcissism share some overlapping traits, they are not the same. Megalomania typically involves delusions of grandeur and an obsession with power, while narcissism is characterized by a focus on oneself and a need for admiration. Both can coexist in a person, but they are distinct psychological phenomena.
The DSM-IV-TR is an updated version of the DSM-IV that includes text revisions and additional information. Both versions use the same diagnostic criteria, but the DSM-IV-TR provides more detailed descriptions and clarifications for some disorders. The DSM-IV-TR also includes new disorders and changes to existing diagnostic criteria based on updated research and clinical experience.
I think it would go under both Axis I (psychological disorders other than Mental Retardation and/or Personality Disorders) and Axis III (medical conditions) aeb it is a medical disorder but it also has psychological ailments as well being that it is in the DSM-IV.
Axis I = clinical psychiatric disorders (ex. depression, schizophrenia) Axis II = Personality disorders (ex. bipolar, conduct disorder, borderline) Axis III= General medical conditions (ex. Diabetes, Hypertension, Stroke) Axis IV= Psychosocial and environmental problems (ex. Death of loved one, Divorce, Job-loss, Bankruptcy) Axis V= Global assessment function (ex. scale of 1-100) 1 is low level of function and 100 being superior function. The scale is compiled by a physician.
In the DSM-IV, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is typically diagnosed on Axis I as a neurodevelopmental disorder. It involves symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It is important to note that the DSM-5 has since replaced the multi-axial system with a more integrated approach to diagnosis.
There are five.
