Learning disabilities are on Axis II.
Actually learning disabilities are listed under Axis 1.
Axis I focuses on clinical disorders. This axis includes diagnoses like Dementia, Schizophrenia and other Psychotic Disorders, Mood Disorders (like Depression), Anxiety Disorders, Learning Disorders, Eating Disorders, and Adjustment Disorders. It's also important to note that Substance-Related Disorders fall under Axis I.
Axis II deals with Personality Disorders like Antisocial Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. While many disorders ordinarily diagnosed during childhood (i.e. Learning Disorders, Autism, etc) fall under Axis I of the DSM, the DSM classifies Mental Retardation in general under Axis II.

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.

What would you have to consider before diagnosing someone with an Axis II disorder over an Axis I disorder?
Before diagnosing someone with an Axis II disorder (such as personality disorders) over an Axis I disorder (such as mood or anxiety disorders), it's essential to consider the individual's symptom duration and stability. Axis II disorders typically involve enduring patterns of behavior and inner experience that deviate markedly from cultural expectations, while Axis I disorders often present with more acute symptoms. Additionally, the impact of the individual's symptoms on their functioning and relationships should be assessed, as well as any potential overlap or comorbidity between the two axes. A thorough assessment is crucial to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
