Axis I is your primary psychiatric diagnosis. Medication can be used to treat a psychiatric diagnosis. Axis II is for a personality disorder. You don't necessarily have a personality disorder when you have a psych diagnosis. Also you don't necessarily have a psych diagnosis when you have a personality disorder. Personality disorders can't be treated with medication. Anti-social personality disorder is a good example. There is no medication that will make you have empathy for other people.

Nymphomania and Satyriasis were once listed as disorders in the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. They are not listed in the current edition, the DSM-IV-TR. However, they have been combined with other disorders under the heading of Hypersexuality Disorder, which is proposed as an addition to the DSM-V. Both Nymphomania and Satyriasis are still part of ICD-10.


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.
