You need to distinguish traits or features from disorders. Most of us have axis 2 traits. If you have separation anxiety, does that mean you have borderline personality disorder? It only becomes a personality disorder if the traits cluster in particular areas as defined by the DSM-IV.
I don't know any T's who would put such a thing down in writing anyway, especially for insurance purposes. Most just put anxiety or depression etc.
