Major Psychiatric Disorders Covered

ATI Mental Health tests knowledge across major diagnostic categories: mood disorders (major depressive disorder, bipolar I and II), anxiety disorders (GAD, PTSD, OCD, panic disorder), psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder), personality disorders (borderline, antisocial, narcissistic), eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia), and substance use disorders. For each condition, we review etiology, clinical presentation, nursing assessment, evidence-based interventions, and relevant pharmacology.

Therapeutic Communication Mastery

Therapeutic communication questions appear on virtually every mental health nursing exam. Our coaching provides extensive practice with therapeutic vs non-therapeutic response identification — a skill that requires understanding not just the words used but the intent and impact of communication techniques. We practice open-ended questions, reflection, validation, clarification, silence, and how to redirect effectively in psychiatric settings.

Psychopharmacology for Mental Health Nursing

Psychiatric medications are complex and high-yield on ATI Mental Health exams. Our pharmacology focus covers lithium (therapeutic levels, toxicity monitoring), clozapine (agranulocytosis monitoring, REMS requirements), SSRIs and serotonin syndrome, MAOIs and dietary restrictions, benzodiazepine safety, and antipsychotic medications (EPS, tardive dyskinesia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome). See our full ATI Pharmacology page for complete medication coverage.
