DSM-IV and other resources... surveys/questionaire?

[rf993]

Is it possible to get the DSM-IV online anywhere or as an ebook?

Are there any types of surveys online that would do similar to help diagnosis something that is in the realm of depression or borderline personality or something like that via the symptoms?

Thanks.

The APA sells the DSM-IV and other resources as an ebook.

www.mentalhealth.com is a decent approximation.

Has the DSM criteria though it doesn't contain the entire book.

E.g.

This site lists a ton of online depression scales. Many of them require purchase, but some are free. Also, half the links on the site are outdated but you'll probably find something on there worth using. As for the DSM IV requirements - it's almost definitely out there on the web. The DSM only does a few pages per condition, so someone has probably transcribed it. In my opinion it's worth getting your own copy though.

Well, these scales look good and all, but you are not going to use many scales during your residency. It's the good ol' clinical interview that matters for most patient interactions. Scales are mostly used for research purposes only.
