In the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision), most disorders are coded on Axis I, but Mental Retardation and Personality Disorders are coded on Axis II. This was designed to help clinicians focus on long-term aspects of mental health, as both Mental Retardation and Personality Disorders are seen as enduring issues unlike the often more transient conditions listed under Axis I.
