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.
