interventions. We will then discuss the two key
questions that you should direct to your patient
for each specific syndrome that will refine
your diagnostic accuracy. In addition, we will
present a number of brief psychometrics (patient
questionnaires) that can be used in your office to
assist with the diagnosis (and ongoing evaluation
of treatment efficacy) of a depressive disorder,
bipolar illness, anxiety disorders, OCD, adult
