Straight up the best textbook I have come across in medical school ( and I have come across some really great ones)
The mnemonic are simply fantastic
And we all know how useful mnemonic can be, and by now we have evidence backing them up, but most textbooks still seldom use them, either because they are so old mnmonics weren't a big thing when they where made, or beacuse the books thought themselves "above" them, which by it self is the least goofiest thing they could do, beacuse providing memorable information should come before making a silly text book fell ""fancy"".
Not only that, but all the other content is just as (if not more) well written as the other books on the topic, so you don't miss out when it comes to that either
I also really appreciate the use of old public domain illustrations, it does make the book feel fancier, without sacrificing anything important (like books that don't use mnemonics do), it also just makes jump around from chapter to chapter a lot more convenient (if you guys ever read other psychiatry books like the famous dsm-5 then you know how bothersome it can be trying to quickly find a chapter when the whole book is just walls and walls of text)
And for the record I am not trying to put down other books, they are also good (for example I myself quite enjoy the previously cited dsm-5 ), but when it comes to studying psychiatry, nothing was nearly as good as this one, I just wanted to give it the praise it deserves, especially considering how underrated it is.
