"I get great positive feedback from my graduate students regarding the content of these videos. The theoretical knowledge presented in textbooks often lacks the practical dimension that students need to grasp how mental disorders manifest in real-world settings fully. Symptom Media addresses this gap by offering realistic, well-constructed video demonstrations that illustrate the behaviors, symptoms, and presentations of individuals with various mental health conditions."

Gary Goines, Professor, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

"The case study simulations are well done - accessible, thoughtfully developed and portrayed with authenticity. these simulations allow my students to gain an more in depth understanding of the nuances of mental illness, offering them an opportunity to observe how symptoms manifest in real life scenarios through behavior, dialogue and actions. SM cases bring the material to life in a way that textbooks simply cannot, giving students an experience that mirrors what they might encounter in a clinical setting. The platform is simple to use, affordable and a resource that enhances the learning process. Thank you for making this impactful tool available on the undergraduate level as well as higher levels. I cannot recommend it highly enough."

Lisa Korman, Professor, Nassau Community College

"As a health professional, having the ability to keep my personal skills up and evaluate a scenario with new eyes was personally enriching as well. The ease of use, low time commitment, yet high yield in terms of information and learning opportunities bring significant utility to me in my clinical practice & my students."

Rachel Nall, MSN, CRNA, APRN, Assistant Clinical Professor and Simulation Lab Coordinator, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Nurse Anesthesia Program
