This is the first 2 minutes of this week's dive into mental health history, specially produced weekly for the Patreons.
From 1980-2013, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DMS) included 5 areas that clinicians were required to address in every clinical assessment, separated into 5 Horizontal Roman-numerated rows. These 5 Axis were considered to be area important for summary to the reader of the report, and the format was thought to be the simplest way to present them. Today's episode is a look into what the Axis represented, how they were used, and the reason the practice was changed with the DSM 5.
