Summary:

NMS Psychiatry, Fifth Edition offers medical students a quick review of psychiatry in an outline format that allows rapid study and retention.

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.
