### 5/5 — A must have for psychopharm help

*2022-08-17, version 6.0*

This app has become my go-to for its quick, user-friendly interface and evidence based guidance on psychopharmacology at the point of care. It addresses multiple populations including pediatrics and adolescents as well as pregnancy and contexts involving multiple medical co-morbidities. Note it is not designed to serve as a diagnostic tool. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

### 5/5 — Great mental health guide/app

*2022-04-28, version 4.0*

As with most “algorithmic” approaches to medical practice the user also needs to rely on their own comfort level and experiences along with an evidence based approach to therapy.   This app seems to be cognizant of these facts.   My experience with this app thus far is outstanding! Although I am a brand new user the ease of use is fantastic.  Kudos to the clinicians that developed the Waco Guide.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

I’m a family doctor in Houston boarded in palliative care as well. This app has been tremendously helpful for bipolar disorder.

### 5/5 — Beyond impressive

*2025-06-25, version 8.6*

I’d pay all the money for this. But it’s free. Ya’ll are doin the Lord’s work over at Baylor/MGH.  You all included lisdex in your stim use (meth specific) disorder algo and that’s all I needed to see.  Thank you for not 100% regurgitating only prominent National guideline recs and being bold enough to incorporate other valuable sources of evidence into the decision tree. MANY, many thank you’s for the time and dedication spent and continued to be devoted towards maintaining such a fantastic tool.
