Hello and welcome to the physician assistant exam review podcast episode 135.

We're going to be covering bipolar-related disorders and depressive disorders today.

Welcome to the show.

My name is Brian Wallace.

I'm the host and creator here at Physician Assistant Exam Review, and I am thrilled to be here.

Number one, I want to say that I was a little disappointed in the last week's episode.

I was running crazy busy.

I have the launch of the 33 days to pass the pants, September cohort going on. So I have a ton to do with that. My kids are off for the summer. We're running

around here and there. And it just, you know, I tried to squeeze it in at a time that I probably

shouldn't have tried to squeeze it in. So I'm going to straight up apologize for that. I am

going to make that up to you today and have a much better show today as we cover

this next section.

And we'll wrap it up the whole psych thing at the end.

I think it's a good way to look at it is to go through and compare and contrast the whole

thing and do sort of a wrap up at the end.

And I think that'll be a better way to revisit anxiety and the things we talked about last week in the week before.

So, speaking of which, if you have someone, or if you are someone who is struggling in PA school,

I was just reading through a couple people who are just, well, I don't want to go into their

stories, but if you're having a problem, if your scores aren't what you think they should be, if you are in a position that you think you should be doing better for all the work that you're putting in, I'm here to tell you that there are some absolute things you can be doing. There's no magic bullet, right? There's no one thing. People react to me and say, well, tell me one thing I can do to get better.

Tell me, you know, what's one thing that you think?

And that's a bad question.

There's no one thing.
