Abstract     Background. In this article I present personality disorders and the usefulness of the multiaxial assessment in psychiatry. Personality disorders and the usefulness of the multiaxial assesment in psychiatry. Personality disorders and mental retardation are coded on Axis II (DSM-IV) and postulate dispositions that make people prone to certain mental state disorders - from psychotic states till affective disoerders - mostly depression with risk of suicidal attempts. Conclusion. The recognition of personality disorders is necessary for a better treatment plan and the prognosis of the disorder.
Summary     Izhodišča. V članku predstavljam osebnostne motnje in opozarjam na potrebo po upoštevanju večosnega sistema diagnosticiranja v psihiatriji. Osebnostne motnje se skupaj z duševno manjrazvitostjo nahajajo na 2. osi (po DSM-IV) in olajšujejo nastanek psihopatoloških pojavov - od psihoz do afektivnih motenj na čelu z depresijo in suicidalnostjo. Zaključek. Bistvenega pomena je, da morebitni obstoj osebnostnih motenj prepoznavamo, ker je od tega odvisna tako prognoza bolezni kot terapevtski pristop.
