Did you ever wonder what training medical students get in psychiatry? Psychiatry Made Ridiculously Simple was written for medical students doing their psych rotations, and for studying for medical board exams. We chose it for www.psychceu.com because it is a good review of the field.

Using humor, mnemonics and charts, Psychiatry Made Ridiculously Simple covers such topics as Psychoses, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Sleeplessness, Anxiety, Pain, Eating Disorders, Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Sexual Dysfunction, Personality Disorders, Medical Problems Presenting as Psychiatric Syndromes, and Psychiatric Conditions of Childhood. The introduction contains a glossary defining common terms and the Treatment Modalities chapter includes a brief overview of psychotropics.

This book gives the clinician a good sense of the level of psychiatric training most primary care physicians receive in medical school, so it creates a bridge for the psychotherapist in communicating with medical doctors, who write most prescriptions for psychotropic medications.

This 6 unit course will:

"This course empowered me...I used to feel really intimidated talking to doctors and psychiatrists, but now I feel more confident of the level of training that I received. Thank you!!"

"I like this book..it is sort of "DSM lite"..not in a bad way, but in 93 pages, it tells me what the DSM uses 886 pages for! The memory tricks were helpful, and I appreciated the information on physical causes of psychiatric symptoms and the brief medication overview. The overview of diagnostic categories was concise and very helpful."
