All right. Hello and welcome to episode 137 of the Physician Assistant Exam Review podcast. Today, we're going to be covering psychotic disorders and disassociative disorders and psychogenic, non-epileptic seizures, easier for me to say.

Okay. for me to say. So this is a section that has killed me on my pants, on my pan, where I always struggled

with it.

And as I'm going through it today, putting these notes together, I realize it's actually

not complicated. It's

not hard, but it's something that I always tended to make hard. And one of the things you'll hear me

talk about is don't study things as independent data points, as independent things. Study them together.

And when you learn this section together, it becomes a whole lot easier. And you'll see as we move

through exactly how that works. So what else is going on? So we have the September cohort of the 33 days

of past events is absolutely killing it. We are having an amazing time. The group has just been

so much fun. We're really making a lot of headway. We have people from all over the gamut inside of this program, people in Didatic Year, people who are working on their pan re, who were struggling with that, people who have failed the pants and are struggling with that, people who are just getting ready for the pants and saying, you know what, I didn't love the way I was preparing for my EORs and I want to do something different. And I think this is the way to go. And it's just been an absolute blast. This cohort has been so much fun. We're making a ton of progress. We have our next meeting tonight. I'm really looking for tomorrow night. Tomorrow night. So I'm really looking. Actually, this will be released on Tuesday. So it will be tonight. I'm really, I'm recording it on Monday. This is really going to be a lot of fun looking forward to that meeting. Now, if you're interested, the November cohort is the last cohort of 2025,

and I'm going to be doing a giveaway at the end of September. So September 23rd to 28th, keep your eyes peeled. I'm going to be giving away one scholarship to that program, so 100% free, plus some other things I'm putting together for that person who wins that scholarship. There'll be information coming. I don't have it yet, but I just want to put it on your radar. And if you want to make sure that you do receive that information and get notified, the fastest way and the most assured way to make sure that you get it is through the email updates. That's where I can be in contact with you. That's where I can let you know about special and remotions and when things like that are happening. So make sure that you're signed up over there. If you go over to the website, www.w.w.com, you will find a way to sign up for the email list there and then I can update you as to what's going on. All right, so let's jump in and get started with our priming questions for today, and then you'll see how these pan out throughout the system. All right, first of all, we have a 23-year-old

hallucinations and social decline for eight months. What's the most likely diagnosis? 23-year-old

with hallucinations and social decline for eight months. What's the most likely diagnosis?

A man disappears after trauma, later found living under a new name with no memory of his past.

What disorder does this suggest?

A student feels detached, like he's outside his body, but knows it isn't real.

What diagnosis is this most likely?

And lastly, a woman has a seizure-like episode with eyes closed and a normal EEG.

What's the most likely diagnosis?

So these are all things we're going to hit.

Hopefully you took a second to think about those, whether you're driving, running, folding
