Dr. ting is working with a 16-year-old client who presents with the symptoms of a moderate case of depression. as part of his intake session, dr. ting learns that his client, geoff, has suffered from very serious cystic acne for 4 years and is constantly teased by his pears for having such bad skin. on which of the axes would dr. ting chart this information?

I believe the answer is Axis III

In psychiatric problem, the doctor could make diagnosis in 5 different axis to make sure they assess the patient comprehensively. Axis III is dedicated for general medical condition. In this case, serious cystic acne and bad skin would be categorized as general medical condition because it was not psychological or personality disorder.
