Today our destination is High Yield Psychiatry and Behavioral Health 

Opening Disclaimer:

I would like to provide a trigger warning that we will be discussing things like suicide and homicidal ideation, substance abuse, domestic violence, and other hard topics we must cover when reviewing Psychiatry. Please know, patient’s with psychiatric diagnoses can present in a variety of ways, but the high yield we cover will be either be a presentation of the criteria for DSM-5 diagnosis or the buzzwords associated with a psychiatric diagnosis. If you or someone you know are experiencing thoughts of suicide or emotional crisis, call 988 to talk to someone 24/7 toll-free. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is also available 24/7 at 800-799-7233.
