It has been some time that I got to do a psychiatric file. More ever, it was a new dictator and so there were a couple of new words. The first word although not a medical word, still had me scampering all over the net. I was hearing something like reined/reigned and it looked like a court summon, and finally I zeroed in on arraign, which was the correct word.
While I was searching the net for serial 7 tests, (which is nothing but a test of concentration wherein the patient is asked to subtract 7 from 100 in a serial fashion audibly and as fast as he can) I came across this in-depth article on Mental Status Examination, you will find it here.
