Practical tables, diagnostic tips, cautionary notes, and explanatory sidebars highlight key distinctions between overlapping disorders and common diagnostic pitfalls.
Designed for use in real clinical settings, DSM-5-TR® Made Easy supports accurate assessment while saving time. It is an essential resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and graduate-level students seeking a clear and applied approach to DSM-based diagnosis.
