There is a format a pdoc must use in a patients chart. The DSM requires first a primary dianosis Axis I for instance Major Depression. Axid II second on list as substance abuse. Axis III health problems Axis IV and Axis V. I always forget the last two. But subjective terms are not allowed anywhere they must be factual and direct observations by the pdoc. He can't just chart he thinks sometime he has to support his findings. Hope this helps too. Love Phillipa
