I saw my psychologist today. She was doing papers for me so I can get into a vocational rehabilitation program to help me out with finding a job/paying tuition. She already dx'ed me... But now I see this 799.9 code on my paperwork to hand to the program. "Axis II disorder deferred". The **** does that mean? Is she underqualified & was telling me what she thought I was as a personal opinion? Or does she simply not want to state it on the papers? I'm extremely confused & already a little ****ing annoyed with my visit with her today anyway. I'd just like input from someone who might actually have a clue. Gratzi.

The latter would be my guess. Like, it doesn't really make any difference for why she's recommending voc rehab for you, so she'll defer offering an official opinion (knowing the possible stigma ramifications, limitations of Axis II categories, etc.).

Can you ask her next time?

I plan on it. I just wanted to post for immediate peace of mind, rather than delayed. Drives me up a ****ing wall when they don't explain ****. Lol
