APA: Lay person’s guide to DSM-5 is good resource for primary care physicians


 

AT THE APA ANNUAL MEETING

References

Which returns us to the lay person’s guide to the DSM-5: It’s well organized. It’s easy to understand. And while it is in hard copy only, it’s handy for primary care physicians who often use the same search criteria as their patients might when turning to Dr. Google to find a quick answer to something with which they are not that familiar. It’s a pretty good bridge between primary care and psychiatry.

Dr. Borenstein had no relevant financial disclosures. He is the editor-in-chief of the APA’s Psychiatric News.
