Multiaxial classification in child psychiatry
A multiaxial system of classification is used in many branches of psychiatry, but it is particularly useful in child psychiatry where disorders are not easily boxed into a single category.
For example, in a popular system the axes used include:
- clinical psychiatric syndromes
- specific delays in development
- intellectual level
- medical conditions
- abnormal social situations
