Mental Health Disorders Crash Course
Learn how to diagnose and treat the important mental health disorders so you can confidently provide high quality patient care. Stress free!
Who can relate to this?
Your patient tells you they’re struggling with sleep, their moods are all over the place, and the medications they’re taking aren’t working.
Or, a patient tells you they have bipolar disorder but you’re not quite sure what the diagnostic criteria are or if their presentation is something else like unipolar depression or another mood disorder.
Maybe you’ve seen a patient who has an extensive mental health history and comes to you on 10 different prescribed medications and you’re concerned about drug interactions but not really sure how to proceed or know what labs to order.
Or possibly, you just want accurate, evidence-based guidelines on how to treat the important mental disorders so you can approach any patient you see with confidence to appropriately provide quality treatment.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re in the right place.

"I wouldn't call it a crash course, I would call it a Psych NP boot camp. I feel like you could put any nurse practitioner through it and they could probably practice as a psych NP…The main thing I have applied from the course is my increased knowledge regarding prescribing. I am much more confident now when seeing a patient who is in need of medication. "

Meet the creator
Hey, I'm Claire, psychiatric nurse practitioner!
I created NP for NPs, an online educational resource, because I had a difficult time transitioning into practice, I see new nurse practitioners experience similar struggles, and because the difficulty can be avoided with some clear and nurtured guidance along the way.
I received my DNP from Kent State University, MSN from Case Western Reserve University, and BA in Psychology from Washington University in St Louis.
When I’m not helping other NP's, I work part-time in a community health setting providing mental health care to marginalized and under-served populations.
I am a travel enthusiast, Friends show aficionado, prefer tea over coffee (weird, I know), and am known to never pass up a free cookie!
What kind of support is available through the course?
Course students can contact me via email or text with any clinical questions that come up as you learn this material and work in practice. One of the most stressful parts of my job as a newer NP was having complex patients but no one quickly turn to to receive quick, accurate feedback from on diagnosis or treatment of my complex patients. I want to remove this frustration from you by being a resource for your questions. I reply within 24 hours, generally much quicker to help you tackle issues so you can effectively treat your patients.
