Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Unipolar depression, bipolar disorder (both mood disorders), and alcohol use all rank among the top 10 causes of disability worldwide and therefore, are priorities for assessment. Irrational fears, quality of communication, social interactions, history of abuse, memory, and childhood history may be assessed at some point; however, these areas are generally not specific to the mental disorders ranked among the top 10 causes of disability.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Axis IV is used to identify psychosocial problems that may affect the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Clinicians use Axis III too.
