The correct answer is false.

It is false that although Daniel is displaying symptoms that appear on both Axes I and II, he can only be diagnosed with one disorder.

We are talking about a classification system pf Mental Disorders. It is on the prototype DSM IV that organized psychiatric diagnosis in the following classifications. Axis I: all psychological categories, except for personality disorder and mental r*tardation. Axis II: intellectual disability that includes personality disorder and mental r*tardation. Axis III: physical disorders and mental conditions. Axis IV: environmental and psychological factors affecting the disorder. Axis V: a global assessment of functioning.
