USMLE STEP 1, 2 CK: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - SCREENING, SAFETY, TREAT, INTERACTIONS

[@fit2day239]

Dr Neil, you've done it again! Your teaching skills are awesome. I truly appreciate you setting the mood to learning with the beach view then you dive into questions in such a systematic way that facilitate retention of these complex subjective topics. I have to admit, I did not know the technical term for depression screening (PHQ9) before you taught it to me. Thank you for your dedication to the Art of Medicine.

[@RandyNeilMD]

PHQ9 - Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 questions. More of a STEP 2/3, but everything is fair game, They mention screenings being more important and in our current day, depression/suicide are at the forefront...

Teşekkürler.

Hello Dr.Neil, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for these amazing videos you've posted. I started off with your biostats videos and they were a major help! These along with some of your other videos on different topics really gave me the confidence and encouragement I needed to keep pushing forward. I had recently taken the step 1 and got my score back that I passed! I owe a lot to your amazing teaching style and guidance! Thank you for all your help!

[@RandyNeilMD]

Rebecca, OUTSTANDING!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Passing STEP 1 is a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT and such a confidence builder. Use that momentum to start focusing on STEP 2... Don't let up off the gas pedal... ENJOY THE MOMENT...thee GO CRUSH STEP 2.

@@RandyNeilMD Thank you so much for your kind words Dr.Neil! I am doing just that! I was wondering if at some point I would be able to ask you some questions on applying to residency in Psychiatry, as that has been my goal throughout studying for this whole process.

The hardest part of the DRUG AD questions for me is actually making them without fully stealing someone else's stuff...

Thank you for your support 🙏 Dr . Neil

[@RandyNeilMD]

You are most welcome.

[@andysok06]

The last question. It actually mentions it in First Aid. Fluoxetine is a CYP2D6 inhibitor, therefore, it should also be known that Paroxetine is also a 2D6 inhibitors since they're in the same class. Thanks for the review!

[@RandyNeilMD]

Glad they have it clear

Is this really step-1 relevant material? I've not seen any of the screening tools from the first question in a question bank or in First Aid

[@RandyNeilMD]

Tejasvi, Just trying to put the relevant material out there... There are tons of screening material out there... this one is the THE BASIC. The mention "screening" in the USMLE outline...

[@carmenmckenzie8614]

Q2 lack the duration of symptoms or I think so

[@RandyNeilMD]

I think in the original stem we mention wife passed 1 month ago and symptoms (according to family) have been present for a few weeks...
