Psychiatric note templates written by a prescribing clinician

Four psychiatric note templates — mental status exam, progress note, initial evaluation and review of systems — each with worked examples, the documentation errors that fail review, and a copy-paste fill-in version. Written for psychiatrists and PMHNPs, in DSM-5-TR and current CPT conventions. All examples are synthetic.

How Psynopsis generates each one

Every template on this page is the structure Psynopsis drafts from a recorded visit or a two-minute post-session dictation. The draft is yours to review, correct and sign — Psynopsis is documentation support, not clinical judgment.

  • Mental status exam: Psynopsis drafts all ten MSE domains from the encounter, pre-fills normal findings and flags abnormal ones for review.
  • Progress note: Psynopsis writes the interval history by symptom, reconciles the medication list with adherence and side effects, and organizes the A&P by diagnosis with a status word.
  • Initial evaluation: Psynopsis drafts the HPI, psychiatric history, medication-trial table, family and social history, MSE, risk assessment and formulation from the recorded evaluation or your dictation.
  • Review of systems: Psynopsis captures the psychiatric ROS and the medication-matched medical ROS, writes out pertinent negatives and flags side-effect positives.
