Can you please explain the Axises? I'm not sure exactly what this refers to.


Sure, the current US diagnostic process of the DSM IV-TR uses five dimensions called 'axes' to ascertain symptoms and overall functioning of the individual. Basically, they're acknowledging that a person may have more than one problem contributing to their overall well-being. So a person's chart will have a set of axes, several of which might hold a primary diagnostic code. The current DSM IV-TR axes are as follows:

Axis I - Particular clinical syndromes
Axis II - Personality disorders
Axis III - General medical conditions
Axis IV - Psychosocial/environmental problems
Axis V - Global assessment of functioning (often referred to as GAF)

As for a name, how about a play on your popular term, Smart Alex:

"Abn0rmal: Gaians for the Mentally Ill"
"Abn0rmal: Gaians for the Discussion of Mental Disorders"
"The Abn0rmals"
"Abn0rms"

Another one, I'm not sure if this is unPC, though (sorry if it is),

"The Psych Ward"


Sure, those will go up on the poll when it's ready! If you think that's unPC, you should already know that there is already a Guild called "PsYcHoPaThIc FaMiLy" and another called "The united Psychos of Gaia!" Haha!

But 'Gaians for the mentally ill' doesn't make sense.
Or I can't make it make sense.

I like Abn0rms!

"For" as opposed to "against." "For" meaning "supporting!"
Ah well, that's why we put these kinda' things to a vote!

Ah... I see now! That took a long time! xd It still seems like an odd way of putting it. But no-one else has said anything, so I think it's just me.

I drew a bunch yesterday night... then I realized that this is a mental illness guild. All pics were boy-girl stuff. This isn't a love guild xp
They now reside in my trash bin.
So, starting anew, I figured I'd do a little pic stealing/modding, like in the good old days of my caption career... sweatdrop . Insert the new name in Mistral, 20 point, or higher. Or use whatever you have.

((Read the bottom right hand corner... smile ))\
ED: Scratch that. Pic's gone, I just got a negative world image vibe.
