According to the World Health Organization, mental disorders are becoming increasingly common, while disability associated with mental illness has already surpassed the disability associated with physical illnesses, and their difference is expected to increase in the future. It is therefore important that all medical students acquire a thorough training in Psychiatry, as they will need it in their future clinical practice, regardless of which specialty they choose.

Psychiatry is perhaps the most complex clinical specialty, as it requires complex interdisciplinarity and creative clinical thinking, a strong clinical evidencebaseand excellent training in theory. Psychiatry I aims to help students develop the necessary knowledge and attitudesthat underpin Clinical Psychiatry and will prepare them for their final year clinical attachment. In this sense Psychiatry Iand Psychiatry II are necessary prerequisites for the final year clinical attachment.

Psychiatry I starts by explaining the psychiatric way of thinking and in general the mentality that defines Psychiatry. It then looks back at the basic theory, helps students develop the basic tools of clinical psychiatry, and covers basic psychopathology.

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

• Appreciate the importance of the interdisciplinary and holistic approach in Psychiatry
• Know the basic clinical tools of Psychiatry
• Know the phenomenology of the main nosological entities of Psychiatry
• Distinguish mental illnesses from physical illnesses
• Know the basic treatment options for the main psychiatric disorders
