Developed by a Psychiatrist for mental health providers, from seasoned clinicians to students.

Psych Dx aims to be the pocket reference of choice, a learning tool regularly updated with new features.
Its goal is to offer something for providers at every level, from student to nurse to attending.

For students, why pay $8 for a laminated mental status exam card? Have psychiatric terms at your fingertips, handy pearls, as well as a glossary of terms and abbreviations.

For residents and attendings, have useful information without having to dig around. Maximize reimbursement by using the best billing codes, even Vcodes you didnt know you could use! Find rating scales for tracking everything from Depression to PTSD.

For any provider, dont guess the GAF, use our algorithm. Figure out abbreviations others use, or why a false positive might come up on a utox.

And thats just the start. See the full list of features below. More is added regularly.
