Summary:

"The DSM-5-TR Handbook of Differential Diagnosis helps clinicians and students learning the process of psychiatric diagnosis to improve their skill in formulating a comprehensive differential diagnosis by providing a variety of approaches to consider symptomatic presentations. These include a six-step diagnostic framework of issues to consider for every patient, 30 decision trees and corresponding commentary to evaluate key presenting symptoms, and 67 differential diagnosis tables for use once a tentative diagnosis has been made, to ensure that all reasonable alternatives have received adequate consideration. Appendixes to this handbook include the DSM-5-TR Classification, to facilitate coding and to provide an overview of all the DSM-5-TR diagnoses that must be considered, as well as alphabetical indexes of the decision trees and differential diagnosis tables"-- Provided by publisher
