MULTIAXIAL DIAGNOSIS
“There are five axes included in the DSM-IV multi-axial classification”
AXIS I Clinical Disorders… “Really Fucked Up”
AXIS II Personality Disorders… “Will Really Fuck You Up”
AXIS III General Medical Conditions… “Got Really Fucked”
AXIS IV Psychosocial & Environmental Factors… “History of Chronic & Systemic Fucked-Up-ed-ness”
AXIS V Global Assessment of Functioning… “Fuck You!”
“The use of the multiaxial system facilitates comprehensive and systematic evaluation with attention to the various mental disorders and general medical conditions, psychosocial and environmental problems, and level of functioning that might be overlooked if the focus were on assessing a singular presenting problem. A multiaxial system provides a convenient format for organizing and communicating clinical information, for capturing the complexity of clinical situations, and for describing the heterogeneity of individuals presenting with the same diagnosis.”

PERSONALITY (un)DISORDERS
1. At first, ALWAYS a “No”…. then after, ALWAYS a “Yes Please!”
2. Bossy Bottom.
3. Bossy Bottom, with a twist.
4. Ends every sentence with, “Oh me too, me too!”
5. Always asks, “Are you a boy or a girl?” (Prevalent in young children).
6. Always wonders, “Are you a boy or a girl?”… But hates you for making them uncomfortable, no matter your answer. (Found only in adult assholes).
7. The Lesbian “trapped” in a man’s body — unbearably attracted to lesbian separatists. Where can they go?! Who can they date?! Seriously!
8. The Rabid Postmodernist, who in their effort to contest fundamentalism and the tyranny of objective Truth, discount EVERYTHING and thus undermine their entire aspiration of multi-vocality. (Also prevalent in adult assholes — Temporary flare-ups are possible in addition to the full-blown, personality disorder.)
9. Says/Thinks, “Congratulations, I love you.”
10. Says/Thinks, “I fucking hate you” when you don’t applaud the sentiment expressed in #9.
