PsychiatryOnline Mobile

A new mobile version of the PsychiatryOnline.com site—available at m.psychiatryonline.com—is optimized for viewing on mobile devices. Access to the mobile site is included as an added benefit of current subscriptions. You will be automatically redirected to m.psychiatryonline.com when visiting the main PsychiatryOnline.com site from a wireless-enabled mobiledevice (such as a smartphone or PDA).Before your first mobile visit, be sure to create a free personal “My PsychiatryOnline” account. To create an account, go to www.psychiatryonline.com from a desktop or laptop computer while authenticated by your institutional subscription, click the “My PsychiatryOnline” link from the homepage, and fol! low the instructions for creating an account. Your “My PsychiatryOnline” username and password will then give you access to the mobile site. (IP-based recognition is not possible from mobile devices, and accounts cannot be created from the mobile site.) The mobile site will prompt users who haven’t yet created My PsychiatryOnline accounts with these instructions.Content AvailableMost mobile browsers are limited in their ability to transmit large files quickly, so only the most essential information is included in the mobile version of PsychiatryOnline. Search and navigation are simplified as well, to better suit the small mobile screen (e.g., the “related content” links usually seen at the left of content have been removed to unclutter the screen). Mobile site users do, however, get full advantage of PsychiatryOnline's powerful semantic indexed search.The mobile view content set includes - DS! M-IV-TR—search or browse the Classification and criteria sets in dividually, or the entire DSM-IV-TR manual - ICD-9-CM codes for selected general medical conditions and medication-induced disorders - Differential diagnosis decision trees and the DSM symptom index from DSM-IV-TR Handbook of Differential Diagnosis - APA Practice Guideline Quick References - Essentials of Clinical Psychopharmacology - Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology
