Ms. Lana Toufaili (Licensed Clinical Psychologist, LPA Board Member).

The objective of the talk was to emphasize the key clinical differences between two psychiatric disorders. Each disorder was explained separately, with an in-depth exploration of their symptoms and presentations. The speaker then compared and contrasted the two, highlighting their similarities and differences. Finally, a case study was presented involving a patient with a long history of psychiatric symptoms, beginning in childhood, and accompanied by significant functional impairment. The discussion focused on how to approach the case from a clinical perspective, drawing on key points to achieve diagnostic clarity.
