The DSM-IV does include the axis of severity of disorder, which is categorized under Axis I alongside clinical syndromes. However, this axis was eliminated in the DSM-5, which instead uses a severity level continuum for diagnostic purposes. The other three axes listed (global assessment of functioning, personality disorders and mental retardation, and general medical conditions) are all included in the DSM-IV.
