- 1:55Anxiety
- 1:55disorder.
- 1:56Maybe
- 1:56that
- 1:56distinction's
- 1:57a
- 1:57little
- 1:58fuzzy
- 1:58for
- 1:58you.
- 1:59Maybe
- 1:59you're
- 1:59even
- 2:00thinking
- 2:00generalized
- 2:01anxiety.
- 2:01And
- 2:01that's
- 2:02okay
- 2:02if
- 2:02you
- 2:02are
- 2:03conversion
- 2:04disorder.
- 2:04Eh,
- 2:05doesn't
- 2:05really
- 2:05scream
- 2:06conversion
- 2:06disorder
- 2:07where
- 2:08you
- 2:08have
- 2:08physical
- 2:09manifestations
- 2:10of
- 2:10anxious
- 2:11thoughts
- 2:12or
- 2:12feelings.
- 2:12I
- 2:12don't
- 2:12see
- 2:13a
- 2:13lot
- 2:13of
- 2:13physical
- 2:14problems,

- 2:22So
- 2:22conversion
- 2:23disorder,
- 2:23I
- 2:24think
- 2:24we
- 2:24can

- 2:34definition
- 2:34states.

- 2:45cancers,
- 2:45environmental
- 2:46toxins.
- 2:46In
- 2:46other
- 2:47words,

- 9:07maybe
- 9:07estrogen
- 9:08is
- 9:08protective
- 9:09and
- 9:09lamotrigine
- 9:10decreased
- 9:11it
- 9:11and
- 9:11now
- 9:12she's
- 9:12has
- 9:12a
- 9:12return
- 9:12of

- 9:13So
- 9:13that
- 9:14could
- 9:14really
- 9:15make
- 9:15you
- 9:15wonder
- 9:16what
- 9:16the
- 9:16right
- 9:16answer
- 9:17is.
- 9:18But
- 9:18the
- 9:18answer
- 9:18is
- 9:18B
- 9:19estrogen
- 9:19induced

- 9:36increases,
- 9:37lamotrigine
- 9:37is
- 9:38actually
