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 peers for having such bad skin. On which of the axes would Dr. Ting chart this information?

a) Axis I

b) Axis III

c) Axis V

d) This information should not be charted because it is a medical, not a psychological issue.

b) Axis III

Explanation:

Axis III of medical diagnosis displays information about general mental condition that can impact some physical disorder or mental health of the body.

According to the question,Dr.Tings can place this information on Axis III as depression case is related with mental health and Geoff has some severe acne related problem which was physical issue.  

Other options are incorrect because  Axis I and Axis V are not the axis on which information of Dr. Ting would fall and this information can be categorized into axis.Thus, the correct option is option(b).
