DSM-5 Tools for Differential Diagnosis

In the real world, clients often don't present with "textbook" presentations of symptoms that neatly fall into a particular disorder. Many symptoms of mental disorders are "overlapping," meaning that the same symptom may be listed under several disorders.

With the limited time that clinicians often have, how do we quickly formulate an accurate diagnosis?

Find out by watching this recording of a 2-hour webinar on differential diagnosis! We'll use real case examples to show you how to use differential diagnosis resources for overlapping symptoms.

Learning Objectives

1. Define "overlapping" symptoms.
