Same here, thank you for sharing🙏
I always loved psychology but i really was more interested in the physiological way of how the brain works, it never cross my mind psychiatry as a career option because i thought you could only prescribe medication and not talk to much, but now that i watched your videos, i really loved how u talked about helping people and having a more intimate relationship with them. Thank you so much!!! you inspire me so much and i hope I become a psychiatrist one day just as you. Hiii from Mexico :)

Agreed. I always had to impression that psychiatry “over-medicalized” solutions time alleviating mental health disorder, but after watch the “So You Want to Be A...” video on psychiatry and this video, it really fits my goals: to truly understand the brain from a medical perspective with scientific evidence-based treatments and having TIME to truly learn about patients and use communicative treatment methods - MY FAVORITE :D This brings me so much joy and combines the best of both worlds for me. I think this is the specialty for me!

Thank you, Dr. Mitnaul. I so appreciated your deep reflection. Congratulations on your many accomplishments, especially the accomplishment of finding the perfect occupation. Happy for you!
Just discovered your channel, Larry! I enjoyed hearing your story. Blessings to your family.
Your line about how you wanted to work with children and how you can affect their lives dramatically without being so invasive is such a special aspect to this field. I would love to one day join you! Thank you very much for the inspiration, you are great!
Glad to have found your content! Current OMS4 and interviewing for residency. I am also very interested in CAP. Thanks so much for speaking on several topics that have inspired me to pursue this path!
Just finished up a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and graduating next week. Recently decided that I want to go the psychiatry route. I always was intimidated by the idea of science and medical school but I really have always wanted to do it !
Im thinking the same thing! Im almost done with my BS in psych and have been scared to go into medical school but im really thinking of going this route too !
What are some of the things that worry you most?
@@DoctorMitnaul The cost
@@DoctorMitnaul I graduated with a a 2.78 gpa from my first associates degree and got very bad grades in my first attempts trying to be a pre Med major. However, now I went back for a second associates and got 4.0 and moving towards my bachelors. I guess it intimidated me the amount of things they ask for candidates and I feel behind as in 38 years old.
@@C3yl0 I feel behind as well! As I get older, the fear has grown much more because I know how much the admission process focuses on how much time you can give back to the community..
Dr. Mitnaul, you are the best! (The drumming clip was SO FUNNY!) Love hearing about your journey, thank you for sharing.
You are too sweet, Missy! I’m overjoyed that you’re following my friend!
Great video and thank you for sharing a snippet of your journey. I’m glad to see that you are doing well.
Marc Lewis , thanks for following! Glad to see that smile!
Dr Mitnaul I would like to thank you for making the world a better place. I admire Doctors who go into this field as the need is so great.
Thank you for those kind words!
I'm considering to become a psychiatrist, your lovely way of being and wonderful mission are helping a lot with my decision! Your smile is very contagious, and you are very knowledgeable and realistic in your sayings. I hope you get even more successful! Thank you, Dr. Mitnaul!
We have very similar stories, doctor! I was a peer mediator in middle school as well and similarly found my calling when interacting with psychiatric patients 1-on-1. Psychiatry is such an incredible and fulfilling field. I just have to make it into med school first🥴

I’ve got a non traditional route, I’m 24 but I’m really thinking about switching from physics to pre-med route. I resonate with your message.
Same here I'm thinking of switching from stem to a psychological major
The drum cut was amazing
Child psychiatry must be quite a challenge.
I'm an adult patient with one of those irritatingly complicated histories - though always an outpatient and not an extreme case, just complicated diagnostically and in finding the right meds and titration. Enough of a history for me to have been both impressed with psychiatry and sorely disappointed with it - or the state of the science, treatments and access to adequate care.
But you know ... My first psychiatrist absolutely saved my life. He was an incredible physician. (side note - also a rare African-American gentlemen in the specialty, like yourself). Whatever has happened with practitioners I've seen since then, which (sigh) hasn't always been fantastic care, i always remind myself of my experience with him. I would even say ... I miss him.
Dr. Howard Blue of Yale-New Haven, a depression specialist and i have no doubt whatsoever that mine wasn't the only life he saved. He passed away a couple years ago at too young an age, but he really had a huge impact on so many lives.
Oh no....I'm totally falling for child and adolescent psychiatry 🙈💕.... excitement and nerves kicking in rn. I'm a 5th year medical student who had an "epiphany" today after one of my routine online psychiatry lessons that maybe this is what I'm into. I had a smile on my face throughout this video, almost teared up at the end because I could just relate. Thank you Doctor, I have obviously subscribed!😁🤓
You are the reason I do these! I’m so excited for your journey Jacqueline! Please keep me posted and let me know if you have questions that I might be able to answer on the channel! Be well!

I’m 27 years old, decided to go into HR with my psych degree and always dreamed of doing a PhD in clinical psych. That being said, this path has cropped up as a dream. I just hope I’m not too late If I decide to do it.
You did two graduate programs prior to med school?
I'm thinking abut going back to school for pre med so I can pursue psychiatry. My path here has kind of been all over the place. I have a degree in theatre performance. For the past few years, I wanted to join the police. I had considered psychiatry passively before but never really thought going to med school was an obtainable goal. However, I recently got out of an abusive relationship and that has started me down this path again. My ex was a cop and a USMC vet who suffered from severe PTSD from the two times he fought in Afghanistan. It manifested as explosive and uncontrollable anger. Eventually, he pointed his work gun at me and later held me hostage in our home. I strongly believe that this could have been prevented entirely if he had gotten the help he so desperately needed. He knew he needed help, but he refused to do the work to get help. When he was on his meds and going to his anger management classes, he was a completely different person but he was dangerous without them. As horrible as he was to me (he was a chronic cheater and liar too), he still doesn't deserve to suffer from that. He's a felon now and the courts are forcing him to get treatment. I would love to work with combat veterans and first responders who are dealing with PTSD. A lot of them don't get help because it is viewed as shameful and weak and they're worried that they'll lose their jobs if they let on that something is wrong. Even my best friend who is a commercial pilot says that he couldn't get help if he needed it because it would be career ending, which is wrong.
I am first year med student and I love psychiatry the way the brain works the way we think and make decisions I love helping people who cannot have normal lifes wish I be a psychiatrist

Hello Dr. Mitnaul!! I just discovered your channel right now and I am looking forward to viewing more of your videos! I plan on going to Medical school in the future to become a Psychiatrist myself. I just started my first semester of my pre-requisites and even though I have my doubts here and there about whether or not I want proceed this path because of the feeling of intimidation, I refuse to give up. I do have a passion in Mental health and combining it to become a Dr. in helping individuals is honestly rewarding. I decided on this career about a year ago and I just do not know how to begin gaining experiences? Such as, jobs, volunteering, Interships, workstudies, etc. I don't have any experience and I am not sure where or how to start? If I may ask? Have you created a video on any tips of where it can be a good start? Or from your personal experiences of how you became about? I would appreciate it so much because I would not want to feel lost or behind. By gaining these experience can be great on the long run. Thanks so much!

More drums! And where are the embarrassing residency photos?
On a more serious note, can you tell us a little about what you've seen in your patients during this difficult time of history--not necessarily the negatives, though they can serve to inform too, but perhaps stories of hope?
BigEchoTokyo - I love that idea so stay tuned for that!
Thank you for making such inspirational videos! I’m currently about to start clinical rotations and I think I want to go into child and adolescent psychiatry. I have myself a history with psychiatry having had an eating disorder, depression with suicidal thoughts and self harm. I’m not completely over it and I think it will always be a struggle for me. Have you had any colleagues with psychiatric problems? Are these problems more likely to hamper you or to be a pro by giving you the ability to understand better what’s going on in the minds of the patients?
Greetings from Belgium 😊
What a poignant question! Cheers on your upcoming rotation. This deserves a full response from a video. Just added it to my list and I’ll give you a shout out in the video!

I just discovered this channel and I love everything about it! I am applying to nursing schools this year for my BSN. Do you think it would be a bad idea to obtain a BSN and work for a year/take the MCAT---then apply to med school? (I would be 22 when I started nursing school, Med school would be 25/26 to start. Am I too old?) My original idea was to become a Psych NP to work with children, but your channel has me really considering going "all the way" and become a psychiatric MD for adolescents.
I started medical school in my early 30s and I just matched into psychiatry so it wouldn’t be too late for you.

Yes
Was a soldier for a bit... Got out of the military and struggled with what direction I want to go with my life. I decided mental health. Because I am extremely fascinated by how the mind works and because I've been through some sh*t in my life and I've always had a fierce drive to help and heal others as much as I can. Being in a dark place in your mind can be the most overwhelming feeling. Mental disorders and diseases are all too real, I'm afraid. Nobody pays it the attention it deserves.

Hi, can someone with bipolar be in mania for many months with out it being particularly noticed by friends and family?
Good question! I’ll add a video talking about the criteria for Bipolar 1 and 2. There is a good degree of variety in how the symptoms can manifest.
I want to be a psychiatrist, but I know they are looked down upon bc “all they do is shove medicine down people’s throats”. I do not want to do that. I want medicine to be almost a last resort if they really need it and I want to focus on communication. But I don’t know how to be a psychiatrist with a psychology/therapist based feel. I want to talk and engage with my clients. Not just give them meds.
Psychiatrist don’t all just give meds.
I am a graduating senior from undergrad majoring in psychology. Are their any specific prerequisite classes I am required to take before applying to Med school?
I know there are but it depends on which program you enter.
Generally you’ll need biology, organic and inorganic chemistry, and physics courses all with labs. It is program specific but these core science classes are required pretty much across the board. I just graduated with a BA in anthropology and I’m considering a post-bacc degree, an MS in Biomedical and Health sciences to bridge the gap of science courses I didn’t get in undergrad. I’m hoping it will strengthen my skills for taking the MCAT as well!

hi! i’m an incoming freshman applying and was wondering if you could answer some questions. what educational req are there for psychiatry? and is a ba in psychology or a bs better. thank you very much!
For psychiatry across the board you’ll need courses like general biology, organic and inorganic chemistry, biostatistics, and physics. You’ll need math and English classes as well to cover behavioral sciences but those will usually be covered in any major. Just make sure you get those core science classes down!

Did you ever becoming a psychologist with a focus on child and adolescents? I'm a graduating senior majoring in psychology with a concentration in clinical psychology. I want to know an in depth difference between psychologist and psychiatrist?
really the main difference of a psychologist and a psychiatrist is that psychiatrist can proscribe medicine to patients where as psychologist can not. so a psychologist just needs a bachelors in psychology but a psychiatrist has to attend medical school
@@ryansparzak8822 That is not correct. In order to become a Psychologist, you have to get a PHD by attending grad school, which can take another 6-8 years after your bachelors.
Be sure to check out an earlier video in the differences and if there is more you’d like to know - I’d be happy to do a follow it that’s even more in depth. I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for clarifying that Oscar!

Do resident psychiatrists ever see patients alone? (Adult or child) Do residents have the right to prescribe medication?
In the US, resident physicians can prescribe. Their practice is under direct guidance of their attending physician. They may initially see the patient alone but often there is some face-to-face time with the attending as well. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
