Memorable Psychiatry

I wrote this same review for his psychopharm book because it applies to this one as well.I am a PMHNP student and I discovered Dr. Heldt’s Memorable Psychiatry videos when first studying for exams. I loved the videos so much that I felt compelled to get the psychiatry and psychopharm books. I LOVE them. His teaching style is so effortless and clear. It’s not necessarily a replacement for your course textbooks , but it makes the material much more tangible and palatable. And frankly, it’s not just his way of explaining concepts - he does so in a way that conveys a passion for psychiatry. His videos and the books makes me even more excited for my future career as a clinician.

The book is extensive yet reads like a novel . The language is very easy. It is extremely evidence based and very honestly mentions what works and what hardly works in treatment . It dispelled myths.The young author is unbelievably competent and seems both an internist and neurologists in addition to being a practical clinical psychiatrist . Although the book has over 484 pages , it is easy and the best book on psychiatry for general practitioners .The author obviously spent a lot of time working on this book . It is a masterpiece !!!

Exactly as Described

As an PHNP student this book I mean bible is key! NO buyer remorse here!

Was debating on buying this book bc some of the comments said the disorders were disorganized in the book and I’m soooo glad I didn’t listen & bought this book! I’m in PMHNP school & this is a must have !!! Breaks down all the important info & explains everything so well I don’t even have to use my actual school books.

Grateful to the author, a UCLA medical doctor (psychiatrist) who can explain DSM5 in a simpler but accurate way. This book is an excellent reference and has mini videos in YouTube.

As mentioned by others, this is a well written book BUT, cannot believe there’s no index. Dr. Heldt might consider an ‘on-line’ supplement adding an index.

Great. Easy to understand!
