1 day ago | psychiatrictimes.com | Arash Javanbakht

When teaching residents, I remind them of the 2 essential DSM diagnostic criteria required for any mental illness diagnosis: dysfunction and distress.

This video series is taking a short break while Dr Moffic travels. For now, enjoy the rerun of this video with updated commentary. About this time last year, this video focused on the 80th anniversary of D-Day and how much that contributed to the end of World War II.
