Turn your mental health nursing notes into an editable concept map
Upload your lecture slides, readings, or notes and get a mind map you can edit, expand, and explore, built around your course material.
Why build your own map instead of using a blank template
Nursing students preparing for psychiatric rotations often need a way to connect diagnoses, medications, therapeutic communication, and safety planning. A fixed mental health nursing concept map template shows the layout but not your instructor's emphasis, your textbook's terms, or the case studies from your unit. Generating a map from your own material keeps the structure and the content aligned.
- Start from your own lecture slides, readings, or notes instead of a blank layout.
- Keep the map editable so you can rename, move, and add nodes as your course changes.
- Expand or collapse branches to focus on weak areas like suicide risk assessment or antipsychotic side effects.
- Export to PDF, DOCX, or other formats on the Plus plan when you need a printable copy.
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of a textbook page and get a map based on what you actually studied.
Editable and explorable
Rearrange branches, add your own nodes, and click through sub-points so the map works as a study guide rather than a static picture.
Study from the same source
Turn the same notes into flashcards or a quiz so you can test the concepts you mapped, including on the Free plan in the browser.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, or photo of handwritten pages. No credit card is needed to start.
Generate the map
DeckOwl organizes the main themes into branches, such as assessment, interventions, and medications, with sub-points under each.
Edit and review
Adjust the branches to match your course, then study the map directly in the browser.
Each branch in a generated map links back to the section of your notes it came from, so you can check a sub-point against the source before an exam. You can also expand a branch that your course spends more time on and collapse the ones you already know. The result is a map shaped by your curriculum, not a generic outline.

Frequently asked questions
What should a mental health nursing concept map include?
A useful map usually groups content into the nursing process, such as assessment, nursing diagnoses, interventions, and evaluation, with disorder-specific branches beneath. Add medication classes, therapeutic communication techniques, and safety priorities so the connections between them are visible.
How do I study a concept map for a mental health nursing exam?
Cover the sub-points and try to recall them from the main branch, then check your recall against the map. Repeat this for the branches you find hardest, and quiz yourself on the connections between them rather than memorizing each node alone.
Can I export my mind map?
Export is a paid feature: PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan lets you study and edit maps in the browser, with 3 generations per month.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the Free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
