The axis is the second of the seven bones in the cervical spine (neck). The axis, also known as the C2 bone, creates a pivot that allows the C1, or atlas, to turn. It has a tooth like structure that allows the first bone called the atlas to turn. Since the skull actually is held up by the atlas, this joint allows the person to turn their head.

Why differences between axis 1 and axis 2 important?

The differences are important because Axis II disorders are only personality disorders and mental retardation (Trait disorders as opposed to the state disorders listed on Axis I). Axis II disorders are those that have an enduring pattern which is inflexible and pervasive across a broad range of personal and social situations. The individuals pattern is stable of long duration and its onset can be traced back at least to adolescence or early adulthood. Axis I disorders conversely are may not be as pervasive and carry throughout ones lifespan. It is important to list Axis II disorders separately from Axis I so that the clinician will give adequate consideration to it as they might otherwise be overlooked in the face of the more florid Axis I disorders.
