Most 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 ?óÔé¼?ôrelated content?óÔé¼?Ø 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:
DSM-IV-TR?óÔé¼ÔÇØsearch or browse the Classification and criteria sets individually, or the entire DSM-IV-TR manual
ICD-9-CM codes for selected general medical conditions and medication-induced disorderS
