Reference Resources for Psychiatry / Behavioral Health

[Ruth Sheets]

Someone asked this question in the November 2014 Q&A Webinar: Where can I find more on psychiatry/behavioral health?

If you have any information regarding this topic, please post your reply. Thanks!

I did a Google search for this. This book looks like it may be helpful, though it does have a rather hefty price. Looks like it would be very up-to-date, however. And if you need it for your work, perhaps your boss would purchase it for the office. If you are familiar with this guide, please let us know what you think. Likewise, if you have another source for information on coding for behavioral health, please post your suggestion for another resource. Thanks.
