that's about the size of it in a nutshell.
Axis I is more biologically based - meaning meds are going to have more of an impact than therapy, though therapy is an adjunct.
Axis II means meds might help, but will not correct the issues of relating/coping to people/world that encompasseses the PD dx. It requires psycho-therapeutic intervention.
