Psych Algo (Education)

An educational study/reference tool for psych NPs, prescribers, and students. Not medical advice — verify against guidelines and clinical judgment.

Psych Algo is an educational study and reference tool built for psychiatric nurse practitioners, prescribers, residents, and students — not a clinical decision-support product, and not a substitute for medical advice or your own professional judgment.

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Every diagnosis, medication, and treatment pathway in this app is provided strictly to support study, review, and reference organization. It does not replace a complete patient evaluation, current primary literature, or the treating provider's clinical judgment, and it must always be independently verified before any real-world use.

WHAT'S INSIDE • DSM-5-TR-informed diagnosis selection across both Adult and Child/Adolescent populations, with differential diagnosis considerations for each • Substance use disorder (SUD) screening that adjusts treatment considerations accordingly • Filtered, ranked treatment algorithms — first-line through augmentation and combination strategies — that account for pregnancy/lactation status, allergies, current medications, and relevant medical history • Full dosing information for every medication: starting dose, dose range, max dose, titration, and monitoring/labs • Weight-based calculated dosing for pediatric cases • FDA boxed warnings, shown clearly for every medication where one applies • A standalone Medication Interaction Checker — build a list of medications and review contraindications and cautions among them, independent of any specific case • Clinical Pearls on every diagnosis: practical, easy-to-miss prescribing considerations • A References screen listing the texts and guidelines this app is meant to be studied alongside — this app does not reproduce copyrighted content from any publication

WHO IT'S FOR Psychiatric nurse practitioner students and programs, PMHNP board exam preparation, psychiatry residents, and any licensed prescriber who wants a fast, organized way to review psychopharmacology concepts.

A NOTE ON SCOPE This app is a study aid, not a medical device or a source of medical advice. It is intended for use by healthcare students and licensed providers only. All content should be cross-checked against current, authoritative references before being applied to any patient care decision.
