Dr. Ron Remick, Dr. Niloofer Baria
Between one quarter and one third of all patients seen by family
physicians are suffering from a primary psychiatric disorder.
In a small group discussion and tutorial format we will offer
specific objective and subjective techniques that we believe
will assist in recognizing specific psychiatric syndromes in
your day to day practice and will lead to more effective treatment
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 ADHD,
and substance abuse.
