🧠 NP students: What’s on your differential? A 27-year-old patient presents with difficulty concentrating, leaving tasks unfinished, and struggling with daily activities such as showering, preparing meals, and keeping up with household responsibilities. The patient states, “I know what I need to do, but I can’t seem to get started. Then at night, I can’t turn my brain off.” What differential diagnoses should you consider? Before jumping to a diagnosis, tell us: - What are your top three differentials, and why? - What additional questions would help you distinguish between them? - What would you want to know about symptom onset, sleep, mood, and substance or medication use? - Drop your clinical reasoning below. A symptom is a starting point, not a diagnosis!

Hi everyone! I've been asked several times to host a live lab interpretation course. This would be a 6-week course that would be 60-90 minutes long once a week. The cost would be $50 for the 6-week course. Is this something the people in this group would also be interested in? I'm trying to see if I'm limiting the sessions to 15 people so there can be discussion. I'm trying to see if I need more than one session.
