Psych Consultation - Stumped

Posted: Oct 19, 2010

At the end of the report the doctor says Axis I -Adjustment disorder with anxiety, moderate in degree. Then he says "New paragraph, Psychogenic amnesia", then he says Axis II . Do I skip a line after Axis I, then write Psychogenic amnesia? How do I set that up? Please help, Thanks.

I usually ignore nonsense formatting, partly because it can mess up the back-end formatting. If there is no rule anywhere about that, I would just type it as if they never dictated the new paragraph.

O.K I couldn't find a rule & wasn't sure if there was one, now I know. Thank you so much.

...I'm not real sure how your client wants it, so this isn't a cardinal rule. It gets confusing with back-end formatting, so who knows, but I try not to split things up like that.

Axis I - hc

I have always typed the diagnoses in list form for Axis I and Axis II unless the doc dictates a comma after each diagnosis. Example below will not let me tab over to line up the sentences that continue onto the next line, so I shortened them,but when the sentence does go over I tab it over so everything lines up. My guess is he just wanted the second diagnosis on Axis I lined up right under the first diagnosis and then says Axis II, meaning he is now listing Axis II after that.

Axis I: Adjustment disorder. Psychogenic amnesia.
Axis II: Deferred.
Axis III: Diabetes, hypertension.
Axis IV: Financial problems. Axis V: 55.

Word allows it to line up, but this does not. - sorry about that

Sorry this does not work on this forum.

Axis I: First diagnosis on first line.
Second diagnosis on the second.
Axis II: Deferred.
