Why are we not editing Wikipedia articles?

Wikipedia is a general public reference source based on an encyclopedia model. Our wiki is indented to be used as a quick clinical reference by doctors specializing in psychiatry.
It is also meant to help doctors study for tests like the PRITE and the Boards; with this in mind, medical education and corresponding reading level is assumed and "high-yield" testable content is emphasized.

Terms, Usage, and Style

  • The term "DSM" refers to DSM-5; "DSM-IV" refer to DSM-VI-TR, unless stated otherwise.
  • The term "youth" is used in its plural sense, and refers to children and adolescents before their 18th birthday.
  • Unlike the style adopted by the DSM, the names of the disorders are not capitalized, e.g. "posttraumatic stress disorder," not "Posttraumatic Stress Disorder."

Copyrights

The content of our wiki is copyrighted, unlike Wikipedia. Read more about it here.
