Description

Psychiatric conditions can be interesting to interpret and diagnose. However, reaching the diagnosis is often difficult as many disorders overlap in presentation. Often times, there are key features known as hallmarks in every presentation. These hallmarks are unique to every condition and they give the diagnosis away. The course aims at teaching you these subtle oddities and how to spot them.Once diagnosis is made, a psychiatric physician proposes an appropriate management plan. These treatments are often a combination of lifestyle modification and medicinal management. The course will teach you all the behavioral therapies, their benefits and techniques, and when to use them. We will also explain all medications used by psychiatric physician, including antipsychotics, antidepressants, stimulants, and more.We have divided the course into small bites. Each chapter includes the important topics in that area. For example, the chapter discussing autism includes the causes, risk factors, presentation, and management.The course includes topics about personality disorders, adult psychiatric conditions, bipolar and depressive syndromes, ethical principles of psychiatry, and much more.At the end of the course, we have included case-discussions. These cases are built carefully to mimic real-life examples that we commonly see in the clinic. There are also many quizzes which will help you memorize the important notes.
