May i ask what is an axis? i do not mean to pry. i just did not understand what an axis one MI.
According to the Diagnostics Statistics Manual (the book that pdocs use to diagnose patients; DSM, an axis one MI is one that qualifies you for disability or for mental health care on govt insurance.

As opposed to an Axis 2 (bpd, ptsd or DID) that does not qualify you.
