"As a third year medical student on my psychiatry rotation, I found this textbook extremely useful. With the perfect amount of detail, the core conditions are conveyed in an easy to follow manner with helpful diagrams and tables. " * Amazon reviewer * "I have looked at a few psychiatry books as a medical student and I have to say that this is my favourite by some way. It's certainly very useful to revise from as it presents the key information that you need. It's user friendly and the text is easy to read. There is good use of colour and diagrams to break it up. I can tell a lot of thought has gone into making this." * Amazon reviewer * Five-star reviews:



Amazing!!! "Without a shadow of a doubt the best psychiatry textbook out there!" Amazon reviewer



Organised, neat, and reader friendly. A pleasure to go through "Dr. Azam has compiled an incredibly useful list of all the psychiatric conditions one might be expected to know as a medical student. Within each category of psychiatric illness there is a useful breakdown of the diagnostic criteria, investigations, signs and symptoms, epidemiology and management. Also laced throughout the book are helpful mnemonics that enable the medical student to remember certain key features of diseases. Arguably, most of this information could be found on the internet but this book is very helpful in that it brings all that information together in one place for quick reference. This book coupled with the Oxford Handbook for Psychiatry is all I needed to comfortably pass my end of block exams.

I bought this product at full price and think that for the information found here it is well priced. As a medical student, I found this book invaluable for my Psychiatric block. This could also be of interest to the keen lay man or the interested healthcare practitioner who wants to learn more about mental illnesses for their profession or leisure." Amazon reviewer
