jennythereaderAnd please write clearly when you're filling out important paperwork.
On the Axis III (physical health) line of a form I just processed, the person's handwriting was so bad that I couldn't tell if they had written HIV or HTN (short for hypertension - high blood pressure). There's a pretty significant difference in how those illnesses will affect the patient's mental state.
I ended up selecting "unknown" and putting a note with the form.
