Chronic Pain and the Differential Diagnosis of Mood Disorders
I need to get people's opinions on a differential diagnostic issue. Situation would be a patient with chronic pain who develops clinically significant depressive symptoms as a result (or, at least with the stress of the chronic pain contributing substantially to mood dysfunction). My contention would be that this would NOT be diagnosed as a 'Depressive Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition' but rather an Adjustment Disorder With Depressed Mood (or even MDD if full criteria for MDD are...

Mental health history questions on hospital credentialing
Although data shows asking about mental health history is detrimental to physician well being and increases the likelihood of untreated physicians, somehow some hospitals still ask these questions and often add it in the same sentence as substance abuse and other illegal activities. People with very remote history of mild depression from a life event are required to answer yes to these questions opening them up for unfair scrutiny. Even thought the evidence shows asking these questions is...

Anyone know what % correct you need to pass comlex?
Took the test recently and it really cooked me. I had taken step a few days before and that thing was so hard I fell into a mini depression and could barely study other than a couple hours of OMM and truelearn practice problems in the days leading up to the exam. The exam felt like a fever dream and now I feel like I should probably still pass, but I think it might be tight if the cutoff truly is somewhere between 50-55% correct.
I am really worried that I might have failed both Step and...

Loa
Hi, my partner had to take a leave of absence for one month during term 4 after I got diagnosed with post partum depression 3 months after giving birth. Also within those 3 months he got an F during one of the shorter term (term3). He goes to an IM medical school. Has he reduced his Chances to go into an anesthesiology residency program? What does have to do to even the balance and increase his chances? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

what to do?-SA Rotating internship match 2024
Hi everyone, I am a foreign graduate (February 2023), currently enrolled on the ECFVG pathway to obtain a U.S. license. Recently, I also passed NAVLE, but I felt no joy at all, What is wrong with me? (I know I should celebrate all things in life and not overthink, but in reality, I can't seem to shake this feeling and not feel depressed.) I suspect I have been thinking too much about my future journey, and because I have no idea what or how I should move, I felt horrible. I have one exam...

2nd Bachelor's for career switch into medicine?
I hold a B.S. in electrical engineering. Currently working as a software engineer and I've been saving up money so that I can go back to school to pursue medicine. In a couple years I'll have enough to pay for a 2nd Bachelor's and medical school without having to work.
My undergrad GPA is atrocious (2.63). My freshman and sophomore grades were quite decent (3.8+) but then I fell into severe depression after sexual assault and my junior and senior grades fell down the cliff with multiple...

WAMC/Help with school list: UCLA undergrad cGPA 3.29, sGPA 3.18, MCAT 524
Was struggling in undergrad due to depression / undiagnosed ADHD and two terminally ill family members, GPA definitely shows it. That being said, crushed the MCAT while working full-time, 100% confident I can succeed in med school.
Having a really hard time constructing a school list though. It's impossible to compare myself to the data on MSAR since my GPA and score are on opposite extremes. Tried the med school chance predictor on prospectivedoctor, but it seems really unrealistic...

Depressed and wanting to change careers
As I enter my PGY3 year I must say that podiatry was the worst choice I've ever made in my life. I am completing a grueling residency. The work is nonstop. I feel surgically competent in some areas and deficient in others. I have looked at jobs and have been in talks with some people and the offers are all below $150k. I have nearly $300,000 of student loans. I completed 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of podiatry school, and now I am finishing a 3 year residency. In total I have went 11...

Knowing when to intubate versus when to not intubate
This is a very frustrating question on UWORLD. I understand that in some circumstances, such as anaphylaxis or croup, you would use epinephrine and racemic epi, respectively, over intubation. But for something like opioid intoxication, UWORLD sometimes says that intubation is the right first choice and sometimes naloxone is the right first choice. So should I assume that if there is a fast way to reverse respiratory depression, I wouldn't choose intubation? For example, if someone has a RR...
