First sentence: 1. The psychiatric evaluation differs from a routine medical examination in that it includes a mental status examination rather than a physical examination, although a physical examination may be included.
Description: This book offers a quick review of psychiatry in an outline format that allows rapid study and retention. Each chapter is followed by USMLE-style questions and answers. A comprehensive Board simulation examination is offered online. This updated edition includes the latest medications, treatment protocols, and evidence-based practice guidelines. The substance-related disorders chapter now includes "club drugs". Eating disorders have been given a separate chapter to distinguish them from impulse disorders. Questions have been revised to better reflect the level of difficulty of shelf exams. The book has a new two-color design with wider margins for notes.
