The History‑Taking Compendium

Every question worth asking, in the order a good clinician asks it.

A complete reference for the psychiatric history and mental state examination, built to the NIMHANS proforma and aligned to the RGUHS MD exit exam. 440 pages that move from the opening question to the formulation, with the clinical reasoning that holds them together. Written to pass the exam, and to stay on your desk for the decade of practice after it.
