Inside this resource
Core Psychiatric Conditions and Lifespan Perspectives
The McMaster psychiatry review features sessions on ADHD management in adults, bipolar disorder from a lifespan perspective, diagnosing and managing dementia, and personality disorders including narcissistic and borderline presentations. Depression with comorbid substance use and treatment-resistant depression are addressed alongside panic attacks and their differential diagnosis.
Substance Use, Addictions, and Prescribing
The McMaster psychiatry review includes sessions on substance use disorder assessment and treatment, behavioral addictions, and cannabis prescribing guidance. Motivational interviewing techniques and anti-depressant and anti-psychotic medication monitoring round out the pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy education.
Diverse Populations and Special Topics
Dedicated sessions address 2SLGBTQ+ mental health, Indigenous peoples, racialized communities, and intellectual disabilities from a mental health perspective. Women’s mental health spans from pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder through menopause, while eating disorders and suicidality safety planning address acute clinical presentations.
Contemporary Issues and Practical Tools
Sessions on long COVID neurocognitive effects, healthcare worker occupational hazards, mental health apps and online resources, and trauma-informed care during the pandemic reflect current clinical challenges. Insomnia and panic attack management provide immediate take-away skills for frontline practice.

The 2SLGBTQ+ mental health session and the Indigenous peoples lecture brought perspectives I rarely see in standard CME. Each of the 28-session lectures is focused and actionable.
Chen W. –
Good variety across the 28 sessions from eating disorders to long COVID neurocognitive effects. The sessions on racialized communities and healthcare worker hazards added welcome diversity.
Priya N. –
The ADHD in adults and bipolar lifespan sessions were thorough and current. At just 3.4 GB, this is one of the most storage-friendly comprehensive review courses available.
Sarah K. –
McMaster delivers again with practical content I can apply immediately. The motivational interviewing and trauma-informed care sessions were excellent additions to my clinical toolkit.
James L. –
Strong mix of clinical and population-level topics. The mental health apps session was forward-looking. Some lectures felt compressed given the breadth of material covered.
Ahmed F. –
Solid review course but the 28-session format means each topic gets limited depth. The cannabis prescribing and treatment-resistant depression lectures were the most clinically detailed.
