Goodwin and Guze psychiatric diagnosis (https://www.amazon.com/Goodwin-Guzes-Psychiatric-Diagnosis-Carol/dp/0195144295/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491703771&sr=8-1&keywords=goodwin+and+guze+psychiatric+diagnosis)

I'm a psychiatry intern, and this is the book I read every night. Very will written and both easy and enjoyable to read. It really helps conceptualize the psychiatric assessment.

Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience https://www.amazon.com/Psychiatry-Clinical-Neuroscience-Charles-Zorumski/dp/0199360561/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1491704272&sr=8-2&keywords=clinical+neuroscience+psychiatry

This is what it sounds like, helps you remember that psychiatry still has roots in neurology.

Personally I love Stahl's pharm book. It has pictures, it's concise, and it's mostly right. If you get to the point where it's not answering your question you're probably past textbooks anyway and need to hop on PubMed.

Hello lilrevolution,

If you are looking for a case-based approach, then try Irvin Yalom's book Love's Executioner. It is a series of cases from a psychotherapist's point of view. Very good read and great place to start.

History of psychotherapy explored in a very engaging and informative way is: Freud and Beyond:
http://www.amazon.com/Freud-Beyond-History-Psychoanalytic-Thought/dp/0465014054/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342420993&sr=1-1&keywords=freud+and+beyond

If you are looking for learning from a medical student's point of view with cases, then try Blueprints Clinical Cases in Psychiatry or other similar books. Another excellent author is David Robinson, who has written a series of books (on personality disorders and mental status exams, along with other topics), one example is:
http://www.amazon.com/Real-Reel-Portrayals-Psychiatric-Conditions/dp/1894328299/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342420783&sr=8-2&keywords=reel+to+real+robinson

A fantastic series of books is the American Psychiatric Publishing Concise Guides series. The topics range from Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, to Psychopharmacology, to Addictions:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=american+psychiatric+publishing+concise+guide&rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Aamerican+psychiatric+publishing+concise+guide

A lot of non-medication related work in related fields is written by psychologists or other allied health care staff. If you are interested in different modalities of treatment then different authors come to mind. One example is Nancy Mcwilliams - a gifted author and psychotherapist, but may be a bit of a harder read as it is more didactic and meant to be much more educational than Yalom's Love's Executioner.

With respect to fiction, then medical school classics are The House of God by Samuel Shem, and the psychiatric-focused follow up, Mount Misery.

Let me know if I can recommend anything more specific.

So I think you are looking more for a psychological framework of mind, cognition, and behavior. However, I will add a good starting point for the philosophy of mind. Philosophy of Mind: a guide and anthology, is the text that was used in my Philosophy of Mind class in undergrad. It is a selection of writings from some of the greatest minds in philosophy. You can think of the philosophy of mind as kind of a meta-science, examining the basic foundations of our theories.

Although older, Bruce Cohen's general textbook is VERY well-written and a good solid intro that I still recommend to MS 3's and 4's.

I know that many of the early (last decade) EEG studies covering mood states and functional networks in bipolar disorder are covered in this book, which highlights some more general approaches based on experimental data.

For more academics, I would vouch for starting off somewhere like here for a review of BD in general, particularly network activity in euthymia and with a history of psychosis. These (1, 2) seem to cover the main bases for pathological states. The is a nice convergence of PET, EEG, and fMRI data over the past few years so if you're finding yourself wandering down one modality rabbit hole its worth checking out the others for completeness.

There's a few colouring books out there that help familiarize folks with the anatomy of the brain. This one is a classic.

How "quick" are you looking for? If you want to be done in under a half hour then Psych Lite might be what you're looking for. If you've got about an hour then try Psychiatry Made Ridiculously Simple. If you've got a full day, Oxford Handbook of Psychiatry may be the way to go.

u/misunderstandingly · 1 pointr/Psychiatry

You might wan to read this book; http://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Epidemic-Bullets-Psychiatric-Astonishing/dp/0307452425 - it's a harshly critical look at the modern psychiatric practitioner's reliance on drug based treatements.

Also - for what it is worth - my Sister In Law is a VA psychologist. In her job she is the "one who councils and works with the veterans" and the staff psychologist is the one who "gives them their drugs". As a layman this seems to be a pretty common state of affairs.

My only experience with a US psychiatrist was "Here take these meds, let me know how they work in a week." I came back in a week and said they were working good. He then proceeded to give me a 3 month prescription. Hardly any talking at all after he made sure i wasn't suicidal.

I am an epidemiologist and medical student. My cousin and close friend developed schizophrenia. The resources above contain the actual science. Up To Date is a good place to start, but you really should talk to a physician. Self-diagnosing is a very very bad idea.

The Illustrated Mum by Jaqueline Wilson

"In The Illustrated Mum, Wilson introduces us to Dolphin, a young girl living in the wake of her tattooed mother Marigold's manic depression. With her older sister, Star, on the brink of adulthood and facing the traumas of adolescence, and her mum sinking further and further into her illness, Dol has no-one to turn to when the constant bullying at school causes her to withdraw into her own world, and she begins to cope with the reality of her life by fantasising that she is a witch."

I'm schizoaffective and I used to watch the tv movie of this with my daughter when she was small. Really good for all ages! Here's the link for the paperback or the movie is on youtube (in several parts).
