![So You Want to Be a PSYCHIATRIST [Ep. 18]](/img/tr.png)
I had a question is there any book you would recommend to a pre-medical student interested in child and adolescent psychiatry?
hi! Brain on Fire is a good one :) If you look on my instagram there are two books on there that I really enjoy. They are parent management books so more specific to child psychiatry. Brain on Fire is more of personal story but might be very interesting given your stage of training!!
@@DoktoraJackie Thank you so much, those sound great!
I want to become a psychiatrist because I want to help people going through hard times. I also am just super interested in psychology, as well as medicine and pharmacology. I really love learning about the mind and what it does to protect you, what happens when something in the brain fluctuates, and how that all pertains to the rest of your body and general medicine.
sounds like amazing reasons to pursue psychiatry!!!
@@DoktoraJackie thank you!!
The primary reason for me would be the absolute fascination for the mental psyche and the desire to learn more about it.
I'm a high school student, I want to pursue psychiatry because I know that feeling of not having someone to talk to (that is not family) through dark times. I wanna make kids and teenagers like me, know they are heard and loved and that your doctor can be your friends, you can connect with them. I don't want to become a doctor that one comes in and just leave with a bottle of pills. I will want to show my patients I have their attention and their improvement will be joy. Plus, the brain play such a huge role in our daily life while its such a small jello-like thing. I also believe i'm more of a talk and listening person than a cardiologist or surgeon etc....
I want to become a pediatric psychiatrist to help kids who are going through tough times. I believe with my whole heart that no child deserves to suffer, throughout their childhood or into adulthood. Im also incredibly fascinated by how the human mind works
that's amazing!!!
I've chosen psychiatry as my career in the medical field because of many reasons, I have gone through some of the worst times of my life that, were I to describe them, I would have been turned out crazy or mental for hiding them, but I have experienced mostly mental pain rather than physical pain and I have learnt a lot about personalities and mental illnesses through talking to people and observing how growing up affects your personality and your wellbeing. I want to treat mental patients the right way one should, I do care about having an economical stability but I've seen that most psychiatrists stick to the job for the money but not enough time to dedicate to save someone from a mental illness that has no therapy, or at least that's what they say, I am a highly religious and spiritual person and in the field of medicine I would not dare not include treatments that go beyond logical and scientific barriers, I want to make sure that every mental patient I will meet in the future won't go through the same times that I went through and I'll make sure that they won't suffer in silence when they get into my hands.
Im currently a high school student and currently confused about choosing my stream as a career. I researched a bit and the work done by a psychiatrist seemed the most relatable and interesting
Sometimes while talking with friends
There are some deep convos wherein I sometimes help them and vice versa and it actually makes me more happy and keeps me going
And i feel that this field is somewhere where i can go
But the twelve year study is a problem
the time will pass anyway but you're right! it is many years to train to be a psychiatrist & the learning never ends :)
My whole adolescent years i thought i want to be a psychologist but last night i thought that maybe psychiatry would be more suitable since im super interested in medicine and how it affects the body and the mind. Im just a "brain" addict lmao, i love learning about how it works. Although i have to admit Ive always wanted to study these things because ive been struggling with my mental health but I think that makes me more empathetic. Im unsure haha
it sounds like you have all the right interests to pursue psychiatry! The biggest difference truly is the medical school requirement and psychopharmacology :)
What if your reason is that you don't want people to suffer the way you have? And give them the tools you didn't have.
i think helping people have resources to things you wish you had is a wonderful reason!
I have the same reason!
My reason to pursue psychiatry is that I can’t think of any other specialty I would do happily rather than psychiatry. Sometimes I do wonder at the reason, but as simple as it is, it is as genuine as it comes. Also I am very interested in how the human mind actually works😁❤️
Hi Dr Jackie, I love your videos! Just putting it out there that personally I'd be interested in any finance oriented topics too in addition to the videos you already do. Also really enjoyed your day in the life video and would be interested in seeing more like that (I know it's probably hard to bring a camera everywhere in clinical settings, but even just talking afterward about what your different types of days are like, general problems or common patient situations you encounter, or even how you like to spend your free time, if any of that is something you'd like to share). And the same goes for if you'd like to reflect on what day-to-day life was like in certain stages of training, especially residency and fellowship (training, social life, dating, finance/moonlighting, how much time you spent with co residents/attendings outside work, anything really!). As a med student its really nice to see your videos that show the other side of things and it can be difficult to imagine just what life is like at later points in this career.
Congratulations on 3k subscribers, thanks so much for your channel!
thank you so much for the feedback Luke! Super helpful video ideas! I agree I've been struggling to figure out how to do day in the life videos without involving the clinical setting & just want to make sure I'm the most respectful of those who are in it. The reflections about different stages of training is so interesting; it's definitely getting added to the list :)
Hi. I love psychiatry because some psychiatric patients are usually are not estimated as ill in some cultures. I really like to help them. Another reason is that it saves lives of some people by preventing them from suicide.
I really loved your channel. I love psychiatry too. Thank you so much.
Hi Dr. Jackie, I would really appreciate a video on why you chose psych and child psych specifically!
yes i'd love to film that video!!
I've been sort of troubled throughout parts of my life but I feel I've addressed my issues and helped myself solve them fairly well. I want to help other people to do that, as I have been in dark places before and don't want anybody else to experience that level of despair.
The part I'm caught on is the amount of schooling. I feel so guilty for wanting my parents to sort of help me throughout all of the schooling, as I presume I wouldn't have a stable income to live off of during my college years.
These videos are so helpful I want to be a children and adolescent psychiatrist, but I was rethinking it because of the years of college and the money! but after rethinking and researching i want to have psychiatrist as my career! and of course you should do the money managing video! Thanks for your help!!
you're so welcome!!! great suggestion!
Hello Dr. Jackie! based on your list, would you say that emotional detachment is important for a psychiatrist? as is, you can be an empathetic physician while still building a wall between you and your patients and not bring the proverbial work home (stop worrying about your patients once you leave the hospital/office) and realizing that as much as you care for them, their problems are not yours to live with and that beyond being a physician you shouldn't let their emotional states affect your mood and family life.
hi! what you're describing is very important for sure! setting boundaries for yourself and processing the secondary trauma of being a mental health professional gets better with time but it is not easy!
Je uû
Hi Dr.Jackie I want to be a psychiatrist. I’ve been doing terrible in school, but I have a passion for talking to kids, kids that had the same childhood as me. I’ll push thru and do what’s possible
the better we take care of ourselves the better we will be with our patients :)
I'm impressed by your whole demeanor. You don't sound like the typical psychiatrist you sound like a mental health therapist. Your training must have been exceptional in the humanistic client-centered gestalt therapeutic approach. In my real-life day job, I am a psychotherapist. Im an LMFT.
i appreciate your comment & do think I had amazing mentors and supervisors that helped me focus on everything a psychiatrist can/does do :)
@@DoktoraJackie I've worked with various psychiatrists and not to stereotype psychiatrists, but they seemed to be focused on the medicine and not so much the patient as a human with thoughts and feelings. I'm sure my limited experience with psychiatrists anecdotally isn't a reflection on psychiatry. However, it is still refreshing to see that your videos break the stigma about how psychiatrists typically operate regarding patient-physician relationships. Well done, keep up the excellent work representing your field.
thank you for pointing out the stigma and stereotype!
Im currently heading into my senior year in 2 months, i need to decide what im gonna do for the rest of my life
Started off as an interest in the human body and biology in general to then specifying that interest more in psychology
I personally suffer from anxiety and ptsd and depression which according to ur second point, i shouldn’t use my patients to understand myself
That point does make alot of sense, however for me i want to study psychology to understand myself among the many other reasons
But that will not extend to my patients, it is only during the studies
I will make sure to get therapy when i graduate since it will become my personal choice to do so(im middle eastern and here its very stigmatized and unlikely for parents to put their kids in therapy, therapy is only for “crazy” people)
All that said i have reasons for wanting to do psychiatry
I have always had a thing for figuring patterns in the human psychology and the way it gets portrayed to others
I want to make psychiatry more normal first in my family and slowly spread it out in my region so that we can progress into more emotionally, mentally aware creatures
I have slowly become more involved in helping people around me, a few people have recommended psychiatry bcz im very gd with advice and im constructive(along with my genius in biology lol)
Ive been to therapy before as the first person in both sides of my family to ever even ask for one
I knew i had social anxiety before getting diagnosed
I never want anyone else to suffer what ive suffered
I want to make sure that IF i ever have kids that they will be born in a comfortable society where fixing ur mental illnesses is not stigmatized
And im not gonna lie the money does sound good😅
I have struggled with my family’s financial situation for so long i will make sure i never have to suffer like that ever again
your insight is inspiring :) I'm so excited for everything that you listed to happen for both you and the world! How wonderful would it be to live in societies where mental health is normalized and encouraged 💕
100% motivated to become a psychiatrist
Good to see you after such a long time! Please make a video on information related to international students studying psychiatry in USA. Lot's of love from India ❤️❤️
I get this question a lot! I will have to gather some info on it first bc my knowledge about it is admittedly low. thank you for the recommendation!!
I am an IMG doctor, and I will apply this year for psych... I did some rotations in the USA on the field. If you have any questions about it, I can help you.
Thank you so much Juliana!!!
@@julianachaves8757 Hello, Dr. Juliana I’m an IMG from India who also wants to apply for Psych in Match 2024. I’m really struggling to find rotations for psych. It would be a great help if we could connect and you could share where you did your rotations from.
"do I know that this is a huge area of attention these days?"
-Psychiatry RUclipsr
hi fellow psychiatry youtuber !
What was particularly problematic during my previous NHS and LA work contracts was the number of charlatans masquerading as “psychiatrists” when they had not even obtained a medical degree, much less completed the additional two years of specialist training required to qualify as a psychiatrists. A far cry from the outstanding post grad clinical training we received back in the day from psychiatrists who were experts in various different specialisms. I do hope clinicians are more thoroughly vetted in the USA.
wow that definitely sounds problematic! can you explain more?
Not at liberty to elaborate suffice to say the matter was thankfully dealt with. BTW “LA” in the previous comment refers to Local Authority - not Los Angeles.
Best wishes.
You are really inspiring doctor keep these videos coming .
thank you!! Life keeping me busy but hoping to post when things slow down!
Always an inspiration. Love the Video
right back at you!!!
You should make a video 📷📸🎥 on psychology spectics
Thank you Dr Jackie for this channel, really inspiring.I'm an IMG and I did my Psychiatry residency training back home. I'm working towards getting into a psychiatry residency here in the US. I'm hoping to do an observership or assist on a research. So my question is how do I go about that? Thanks
P.s - sorry for the lengthy comment
i'm noticing that they're finally reopening observerships since covid really limited a lot of traveling trainees. It seems from what I'm hearing is that many of the students are doing sight visits and that might be the best way for you to get to know people, meet potential mentors for research, and see if the program is a good fit for you as well!
@@DoktoraJackie Thank you. I'll look into that.
My dream Is to become a paediatric psychiatrist. Reason being is that I have had mental health issues , and I have got through them. I also have a lot of tips for dealing with anxiety and mood swings. I also love researching psychology and psychiatry. It is not about the money or the lifestyle. I want to do something I love and enjoy. Is this a decent reason?
sounds like your intention is very well meaning !
Would love some finance oriented videos!
Hello, I recently started watching your videos and really like them. Throughout my life I've only thought about getting a job within the medical field that pays well, I only thought about the money, and I wanted to become a pediatrician or neurosurgeon. I am a 300 level human anatomy undergraduate. But when i watched videos like these asking questions like "can you handle the pressure of undergoing surgeries?, are you a fast thinker? working 24/7 job life, So much pressure" etc. I knew I wanted to stay in the medical field but what exactly do I want to become? Do I really want to become a neurosurgeon? I was told to become something I would be proud of and be comfortable with. I started my research and came across psychiatry. I became really interested in it. I've always been engrossed in understanding the human mind. I sought advise from the people around me and they said if it's really want I want to become I should pursue it, and they felt like I had the right attitude for such a job. It's currently my greatest interest. I'm thinking of taking medicine as a postgraduate to pursue the career. That aside, I've been hearing different salaries for psychiatrists like $287000 per year or $220,000 yearly. Can I ask how much you earn monthly and yearly as a psychiatrist?
so it's definitely different in parts of the country but Id say the range is 200-300k!
For years, I used to want to be a psychiatrist. However, after I actually needed one, I learned that not many actually do talk therapy. They seemed very cold and rushed. Without that aspect (and with the aspects I listed), I changed my mind. But I will be shadowing a psychiatrist soon. Do you have any advice? Thank you!
it's so important to know what it looks like in real practice! I agree many settings don't allow for the hour long therapy sessions for psychiatrists as prescribers are so needed right now but would also say that if therapy is important to you then private practice or academic medicine might be where you'd likely thrive.
I always wanted to be a psychiatrist, but I don't know if I'll have the drive or work ethic to make it or even what I should major in preparation for the MCAT, like psychology? chem? bio? premed? How should I handle this? Should I explore different paths? Is it possible to "fail" getting accepted?
Hey Dr. jackie, can do a video on in sevice exam prep for PRITE and the ABPN baord exams.
ooo sure! Wasn't sure if that would be interesting to ppl but definitely helpful! haha
I want to become a psychiatrist because someone I really admire is one and he has inspired me in so many ways. None of the reasons you provided are reasons I want to become a psychiatrist, thankfully. However, if the passion I have for the craft is derived from someone else, would you say it's strong enough? I'm entering uni this Fall and I guess I'm having freshman nerves lol. I also have no issue with the time and effort going to the doctorate level, as it's what I planned anyways.
definitely sounds like they were inspiring to you and with time I believe you'll find your own reasons!
@@DoktoraJackie I think so too! Also, I just found out that AP Psychology is now banned in my state Florida. This is because our governor wrote in state law that any lesson about sexual or gender identity is illegal. College Board responded by saying if they take out that section of the lesson, the course won't be recognized and given credit. Therefore, the course can't be taught here anymore. Having my major be attacked is quite nerve wracking, but I'm not planning on switching. Thanks for your reply :)
it's nervewracking to say the least! I'm reading more about what's been happening and am really sorry it's impacting your education. I trust that you will put in efforts to supplement it tho!
@CashPoke B.S. Sounds like you are misinformed and have an agenda.
Nice video!
thank you for your help!!
Hi Dr. Jackie! I’m interested in psychiatry because I’m good at helping work people through their problems, and can grant them a new perspective with a mostly unbiased view. I’ve also heard stories from the psych ward about bad psychiatrists who didn’t care or didn’t prescribe good medicine (from friends in high school) so I want to be “one of the good ones!” I also want to be a psychiatrist because I know there’s a need for them in the US, and so I feel a moral responsibility because of my previously mentioned skills and knowledge. Would these be good or reasonable reasons to pursue psychiatry in your opinion? Thank you!
definitely a great reason!!!
Which one do you think has more impact on your mental health? Being a clinical psychologist or psychiatry?
Hi Tessa Gray, it is very difficult to quantify which career path would impact someone's mental health. This is not only because of individual reasons but more importantly the system someone works in and the type of work they do much as specific diagnoses or psychopathologies, caseload, part time/full time, amount of support (administrative, case management) as well as what career stage (early, mid or late) someone is.
Hi dr. Jackie and thank you so much for the useful informations
My question is can a mentally ill person become a psychiatrist? And wouldn't it affect their own mental health?
I have bpd and about to graduate from medschool and I'm very interested in psychiatry but concerned that it'll have negative impact on me so please make thais issue clear for me
hi fatima!the rate of mental illness in physicians is pretty high. if we didn't have people in medicine if they had a diagnosis then we would surely be short of physicians. however, id say you have to do what you feel is best for you first and foremost. you deserve to be in treatment regardless of what specialty you choose since it is not only psychiatry residency that will be taxing and stressful. with that said, with the right support, you have already made it through medical school which is very difficult and should trust in yourself that you will be able to work through residency as well. this goes for anyone, if you need help, get it because you deserve it. if you need a break, take it! so much of medicine is putting everyone else first but that's how we burn out
So you mean that there isn't anything specific about psychology would affect my mental health that isn't there in other specialties..did l get that right?
I'd say there will be patients that struggle with mental illness that you'll encounter in many fields/specialties and of course you'll bring yourself to every patient so being able to manage yours will be the most important. if you do decide to do psychiatry, then there is also supervision to make sure you're feeling supported
Hi! I'm 19 and about to start college with my intended major being Clinical Psychology. I've recently been interested in this field because of some of the high school classes I took and medicine. How it affects people and why people develop certain disorders interests me as well.I believe after my 4 years I would like to get into medical school and become a Psychiatrist, but I am not 100% sure... I guess I'm only afraid of wasting time and not liking it. Do you have ant advise? Thank you and keep up the amazing videos!
Hi! good news is that you don't have to decide just yet! Do you think in general you'd like to be a physician of some sort? You will have to do a rotation in psychiatry during medical school and you can decide during your clinical year.
@@DoktoraJackie when it comes to medicine and how it affects the brain… then yes. I’m interested in mental disorders and how people get them or how they develop. That’s about the only thing I have an interest in relating to medicine or any type of doctor practice..
hi Andres! I can appreciate that! In that case, I do not want to dissuade you from pursuing medical school but you will need to do rotations in most main medical specialties prior to getting to all the great stuff you're interested in (obviously I'm biased). you do not learn only psychiatry until general psychiatry residency. however, you can't prescribe medications for those struggling with mental illness without going to medical school unless you'd like to pursue nursing.
@@DoktoraJackie What do rotations mean?
most medical schools require clinical rotations in surgery, family medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, internal medicine and emergency medicine. i'm probably forgetting some but that is usually the last two years of medical school
Hi Dr. Jackie! I am a high school student and am pretty certain that I would like to become a Psychiatrist. I am a very high achieving student, however I am a bit squeamish. To go into medical school, is that a normal thing? Do you have any tips for that?
My second question is just a general wonder, but how much of your medical training in surgery and the physical aspect of medicine do you use at this point in your career? Is surgery just something you don't have to practice anymore or are you still called in to work in other fields of medicine? I hope that makes sense!
Hi! That's a great question! After medical school during psychiatry residency you still have to do 6 months of internal medicine (not surgery) and neurology. I'd say less invasive procedures of course in comparison to surgery. Now that I'm out of training, I wouldn't be called to do surgery or rotate on other specialties (thank goodness)!
Hey, I'm going to study medicine beginning from this year and my aim is to become a psychiatrist. Previously I had the same doubts as yours, because I can get easily impressed and I could never be a surgeon. What I did is to search on the Internet some pictures of people affected by impressing diseases or patients being operated...I soon got used to it, so I think I will get used to see these things also in real life (still I don't want to be a surgeon, also because I have no manual skills at all and there's too little interaction with patients). I wrote all this to tell you that if you're determined to be a psychiatrist I think your susceptibility won't be too big of an obstacle.
Everyone has their own fears and obstacles to overcome in order to achieve their goals, I think it must not hold them back from doing what they dream. Fears can be surpassed. But if you don't follow your heart and settle for something that isn't your main focus because it is "easier", less stressful etc you will be regretful in the end. That's my opinion. Follow your dream and don't listen to anyone who will say "Nah, you're too sensitive, you would never make it as a medical student/doctor". Let them say what they want, but it is your life!
Hey, love your videos! As a young teen interested in the field of psychiatry, what books may you recommend for me? Thanks
I finished my meds and preparing for my post-graduation in India. I am at stage where I released my childhood trauma bcs of many things and one among them is having emotionally unavailable and emotionally immature parents and healing from them.I had this interest in child psychiatry.will I be a good psychiatrist or will I emotionally drain myself in this process?
I'm sorry for what you've been through. Mental health isnt a yes or no thing and very much a fluctuating dynamic experience. Having the necessary support during the entirety of the process is so important & that looks different for everyone.
Hi doctor what was your reason for choosing this specialty?
hi Paola!! I have a video dedicated to this question if you wanted to watch a video on it but if not I have sooo many reasons :) I love the team approach and you get to work with so many different professions such as teachers, social workers, psychologists, nurses, psych technicians, etc. everyone has such a specific but important role and it only works when everyone's functioning as a team so the communication and relationship within the team is also super important. I love how much I've learned about life from my patients who show me how capable and resilient people truly can be. it's the only specialty that allows me to get to know my patients to the extent that I get to know them. We talk about things that people typically wouldn't feel comfortable bringing up but I enjoy creating the safe space for people where there's no judgment or shame for just thinking real things.
I just graduated from my undergraduate in psychology. I kind of hate the pay i have and know i have to work my way up. What would you tell someone who might want to be a psychiatrist because they are allready a portion of the way in education and that the money looks really good?
I'd say it's always an individual decision whether or not you're able to take a huge pay cut and incur debt while you're in psychiatry training until you're able financially reap what you've sown. if you're able to manage that and you love medicine and psychiatry then of course i'd say it feels like a necessary but appropriate burden
Hi some people said psychiatry is good if you have adhd what is your opinion?
Is there a way to train both in Internal Medicine and Psychiatry? (Sounds greedy, but I love both)
Hi! there are internal medicine/psychiatry or family med and child psychiatry/peds combined programs!
abpn.org/access-residency-info/combined-programs-and-alternative-pathways/
This is a random question, but I have always wanted to get the DSM 5 just to read about the different mental illnesses and disorders. Do you think I should wait? What year of schooling do they make you get the book? Is that not until medical school?
I got this book my third year of uni for my psyc degree
@@Blessed_MK did you need for class?
*it
I'd say wait! I don't think you need to read it just yet. when you join a program, often you can use academic funds, borrow from the medical library or be taught it during didactics
@@DoktoraJackie ok thank you I will. I figured it would be better to wait. Thank you so much!! The video was helpful and amazing as always
Hello. I have a question about psychiatry. Is there a big difference between being a Child Psychiatrist and an adult psychiatrist. Thank you.
child psychiatrists do two years of specific training in treating children and adolescents. i can't speak for everyone but my knowledge of how to evaluate and treat children before and after my child psychiatry fellowship was vastly different and feel significantly more competent to do my job after the additional training
Hi❤, pls do you know what courses to do in high school for medical school
Hi!! for high school, i would focus on taking classes that would get you into the college that you feel has the best resources to help you get into medical school. many classes in highschool are standardized but you can consider some AP classes that are science oriented. I would also consider more medically related extracurriculars and/or peer mediation oriented opportunities. hope that helps!
i’m here but i should be studying for Step 1💀💀💀 anyhoo i’ll be back🤣
haha breaks are good for you! happy studying!!!
Me but with step 2 😫
I have a question how do you manage family life like having children while being a psychiatrist cause I want to be they're for my children I don't want to be away from home all the time like missing events and milestones or miss the chance to teach my kid
Hi IceEmperor! I'm so impressed with how intentional you are with building your future. Choosing a life as a physician does limit your availability but because psychiatrists work in many different settings, you can work in different settings that might have a more or less rigorous work schedule and adjust that as your family's needs/schedule change as well.
@@DoktoraJackie thank you for responding 🥰
Hi, need guidance as my brother he is a psychiatrist consultant and his behaviour has been changed alot like he need anger management and medication as he fights at home with abusive language with parents and everyone close cirlcle. I am really worried for his own mental health. What and how should we convince him get a medical help. His mood swings alot. Please help.
hi! if you're in the US you can call 911 or 988 if there is a mental health crisis
Hi Dr. Jackie, is it possible to private message you about career as a psychiatrist
?
my email is doktorajackie@gmail.com :)
I'm starting psychiatry residency in Australia next month.. do you think much pre-study is needed or do you sort of pickup things from the job? Only did 1 rotation in psych during my intern year so wonder if I should be aggressively studying this month. What do you think? Lol
definitely don't need to aggressively study! I'd say if you do anything maybe just brush up on all the criteria/DSM and components of the psychiatric evaluation about a week or two before you start :) otherwise please enjoy your time off!
Hey, how that going? What did you do to get into a residency program? I'm an IMG, looking to get into a psych residency in Australia too! I'd love if you could share some details! 😊
I have (at least I think I have, not sure yet) misdiagnosed ADHD and ADD and I think I'm finally ready to pressure a quarrier to make sure that other people that in those same or similar positions, do not get wronged by the same confluence of events that wronged me. Plus I like to work in the benefit of others just because I believe that any one needs to be able to see* that they indeed have a chance when they are clearly incapable of. Not sure if this is applying on the personal gain spectrum though, so I'd like some guidance if you may... ty so much in advance.!!!
i think everyone goes into this career with different motivations and inspirations! if it means making sure mental healthcare is just and equitable then I can't see what could be wrong with that!!
@@DoktoraJackie ty so much for takin the time to answer to me Dr. I've seen many types of Drs. schedules and I know it is not easy to find time any time you want or even need to solve a problem or a situation, so I'm so grateful for that.☺. In any case scenario I know that health and more specific, mental health is my domain, my calling if you want. So I will try to join the cause, yours and so many more, couse I personally believe as well that is the right thing to do, if that's the way I (and everyone, depends which case scenario) feel, for the right reasons Ofc!
so glad to have you on the team!
I would add (the belief that): “if I choose psychiatry, I won’t have to do physical exams or manage physical illnesses.” 🥼🩺⚕
great one!!!
