Presenting Our September Theme: Diagnosis Dilemmas

Psychiatric Times is featuring monthly themes that speak to various aspects of psychiatry and issues relevant to psychiatric clinicians. Our September theme is centered on diagnosis dilemmas. Complex comorbidities, medication adverse effects, and physician burnout can lead to delayed or incorrect diagnoses. In order to provide better patient outcomes, we want to take a look at challenging cases that make you think: How can I best help this patient?

How do you address complex comorbidities? As a clinician, what diagnoses do you find most challenging? How can you best guide patients through the diagnostic process? Do you have practice tips to offer your fellow mental health clinicians? Have you experienced a patient case that could help others learn?

If you have something you want to share, whether that's an article, case study example, or CME article, let us know! Write to us now at PTEditor@mmhgroup.com to be featured in our September content series and potentially in a future Special Report/print issue.
