Psychiatry Essentials

Concise outline-oriented coverage of psychiatry covers all the information the medical student needs for clinical rotations and for preparing for the USMLE.

For each psychiatric disorder, first section ("The Basics") identifies and describes the disorder and its treatment (ideal for the first weeks of the rotation). The second section ("Essential Features") summarizes all essential features of the disorder (will help you answer most exam questions and excel on the ward). The third section ("Depth and Detail") covers more in-depth material, including high-yield details in epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, course and prognosis, treatment, and differential (for study immediately before the boards).
