Download file now Free Mental Status Examination. 52 Challenging Cases, Model DSM-5 and ICD-10 Interviews, Questionnaires, and Cognitive Tests for Diagnosis and Treatment from mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link Mental Status Examination is for clinical students, interns, residents, and practicing professionals who want to painlessly perfect their evaluation skills. It explains DSM-5 and ICD-10 diagnostic and cognitive examinations validated in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Psychiatry Research, Biological Psychiatry, Psychiatric Services, and Psychological Reports.
Mental Status Examination then introduces you to 52 challenging, real-life patients who were given the same mental status examination. They tell you their stories as if you were their personal clinician and you will diagnose their problems. You will learn from patients with Major Depressive Disorder; Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder; Bipolar I and II Disorders; Panic Disorder; Generalized Anxiety Disorder; Social Anxiety Disorder; Acute and Posttraumatic Stress Disorders; Schizophrenia; Substance Use Disorders, Intoxication, and Withdrawal from pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, street drugs, and supplements; Borderline Personality Disorder; Antisocial Personality Disorder; and Psychopathic Personality.
You will diagnose patients suffering from Delusional Disorder, Sleep Terrors, Intellectual Disability, Catatonia, Conversion Disorder, Trichotillomania, and Formication, as well as cultural and religious practices that complicate patients’ evaluations, including coining, Santeria, folie á deux, and suicide pacts. We explain medical conditions that masquerade as mental disorders, such as aphasias, drug side effects, brain trauma, hypotension, stroke, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, multiple sclerosis, herpes zoster, Parkinsonism, epilepsy, and cancer.
American Psychiatric Association (DSM-5) and World Health Organization (ICD-10) diagnostic criteria and codes are explained in detail. You receive a cognitive examination, model interview scripts and questionnaires for your patients to fill out in advance. Evaluation, treatment, and patient management tips are provided in each case. Every step of the diagnostic thinking process is explained, so that when you see a similar patient in the emergency room, hospital, clinic, private office, or forensic setting, you will know just what to do.
Time is precious for clinicians—we care for our patients, meet with their families, attack mountains of paperwork, and complete the requirements of our ongoing education. Diagnostic skill is essential for our success. Let’s get started now!

I bought this on my Kindle I like the book but would not buy it in this format again, reasons to follow. First I would say the book has excellent content is well written and accessible for both novice and more experienced practitioner. I am a degree nurse with 3.5 years of forensic psych recently moved to an ED job where we act as a consulting service to the ER Docs and make recommendations for admission or D/C. Specifically I like the case study and framework used in the book I find it is helpful in interviewing and working out differentials both medical/organic and psychiatric.
However, the one issue I have with the book is the kindle format. The Kindle version has no index, and no text links, so you are unable to review the content of the book or to jump to another section of the book or print out any forms for that are only available in the paper copy. This is a significant shortcoming of this book's formatting for the electronic version for that reason I would again only buy this as a paper edition and forget it on the kindle unless they update the book to provide useful access.

Every diagnostician and their students should be required to have this in their office. I would give my students the vignette only and let them explore the DSM 5 before giving them the rest of each chapter. I also found the cases treated in settings other than my own, as well as the permission to use them well worth the price of the book! A great gift for a friend or student no matter how many years they have used the DSM
