Have a little read: ... CASE STUDY 1 Mental disorders can be classified in many ways but the most commonly used in the world are those presented in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV), which was published by the American Psychiatric Association Washington DC, 1994. It was devised for the classification of mental disorders and holds diagnostic criteria for the most common mental disorders including descriptions, treatments and research findings. The DSM-IV is organised to help with scientific research as well as clinical practice. It is organised into five different criteria known as axes. These axes are used as guidelines when making decisions based on symptoms. Axis I contains information on clinical disorders, including major disorders, developmental disorders and learning disabilities, such as depression, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders. In contrast, personality disorders and mental retardation are represented on Axis II, such as paranoid. However diagnosis can be made that include Axis I and II
