This document is a complete and exam-focused study set containing over 100 fully answered psychiatry questions for the PAEA End of Rotation (EOR) exam, designed for the 2025/2026 academic year. It is structured in a detailed Q&A format, offering concise clinical reasoning and high-yield recall of diagnostic criteria, treatment options, and DSM-5 classifications. Each answer includes relevant clinical pearls, treatment strategies, and criteria-based breakdowns to ensure mastery of psychiatric conditions. Topics include mood disorders (Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar I/II, Dysthymia), anxiety disorders (GAD, Panic Disorder, Phobias), trauma and stress-related conditions (PTSD, Acute Stress Disorder, Adjustment Disorder), childhood psychiatric disorders (DMDD, ADHD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Selective Mutism), and pharmacologic vs non-pharmacologic management strategies (SSRIs, SNRIs, CBT, ECT, Lithium, Benzodiazepines). Diagnostic mnemonics such as SIGECAPS and DIGFAST are included to support fast and effective recall. This study guide is ideal for Physician Assistant students preparing for their Psychiatry EOR exam, but is also highly relevant for nurse practitioner (NP), medical (MD/DO), and clinical psychology students focused on psychiatric and behavioral health. It’s particularly useful during psychiatry rotations, board prep sessions, or when reviewing DSM-5 diagnostic frameworks. This material aligns with U.S. university PA program standards and national board expectations.
