- This vlog has my experience from my first 2 weeks of psychiatry. To be completely honest, I think the experience i'm having is MUCH different and is not a great depiction of what psych is actually like. Making the best of it!

Introducing you to my experience on my psych rotation! This vlog includes the first two weeks of the rotation. It was a heck of a ride--went to urgent care, sad family news, stress, happiness. Hope you enjoy this vlog! I really like how i edited it :)
Love watching your medical school journey 💛
Greetings Ms.Southard,

I worked in psych for many years as a nurse - love seeing this rotation! Making sure patients follow through is hard in psych. Psych is important to all areas of medicine as mental health affects physical health and vice versa. And learning how to deal with psych conditions will help tremendously in other areas of medicine! Inpatient psych is sooo much different than outpatient. Our mental health system needs so much support ❤️
Agreed!!
I’m on my nursing school Psych rotation! I also don’t have an interest in it, and was a little nervous. However, what helped me was being told, no matter what speciality you decide, mental health/illness is always going to come up in ur career. Which motivated me to learn as much as I can!
I absolutely love seeing your medical school journey unfold. I can’t imagine how difficult it can be to diagnose without relying on physical exams. Such an interesting rotation. Thanks for sharing 💛
Much different than I expected :) Thanks for the comment!
There are diagnostic criteria so it’s a little more objective because of that 😅
I'm a psychologist so, needless to say, familiar with what you're going through this week. Psych is a different beast for sure, when I talk with my physician friends and compare our experiences. I've met an OBGYN who specializes in prenatal mood disorders and its fascinating for me to see how she links the two fields. Best of luck to you! And I'm sorry about your dog. I hope Rosie feels better soon ❤️
@Robert P. 🙄
I was a taste tester for trix yogurt a few times when I was like 10 andddd they alwayssss asked for feedback about the colorsss! I am very honored you like and appreciated the colors that younger me got to play a role in choosing lol!
My heart goes out to you for your darling puppy! Animals are so precious and make this world a better place 💕
As someone who transgender I wish there was more people like u in the medical community your honesty is so amazing and brave and is helping me on my journey and learn its ok to speak doctors or pa or nurses without feeling ashamed thank ub
I was just wondering this morning if you’ll upload a video about you psych rotation and here we are! So excited to watch! P.S. I was smiling to my ears when I saw your IG story about the interview🥰
My dog had a generalized seizure on Saturday, I rushed him to the vet ER and he is fine now but I definitely feel the hug your pet tight comment because that is what I have been doing every second since Saturday. Good luck with Rosie, I really hope she gets better 🐾💕
): I'm sorry. Dogs are so resilient. I love them. Hope your pup stays healthy!
@@RachelSouthard they really are amazing! It is not Leo’s first medical emergency, he is mind blowingly strong and it sounds like Rosie is the same! I will be thinking of her and everyone who loves her!
So sorry to hear about the pup, sending positive thoughts!
I clicked this video so fast because I'm also on my psych rotation and it has been going by sooooo slowly. Thankful for all of the time studying during the day like you but I don't feel mentally or physically stimulated and still feel so exhausted from listening to patients talk the entire time. Half of the week is inpatient, which is much more exciting and only half of the day, but I feel you. Sad Rafiki. Love you Rachel! :)
I had to put my doggie down a month ago, she was also a mutt and lived till she was 14. Totally understand that feeling when theyre not doing well. Hope she gets better! As always thanks for continuing to vlog, youre a source of inspiration for me as I get ready to apply to medical school this cycle
Awh I’m sorry for your loss 💕 it’s hard losing our pets.
Long time viewer, fist time commenting. You do such a great job with upload consistency! And while being on rotations too?? Force of nature
Thank you so much for this. I honestly bust my booty to make this channel work.
Aw, I hope Rosie feels better! I had to put my dog to sleep in August and it is truly a rough experience to watch your pet experience pain and discomfort. So glad she's doing okay!
I’m so sorry about Rosie-thank you for sharing that.
Hope Rosie recovers soon!
Just wanted to put it out there that you are THE most motivating person i have EVER come across
it's like your optimism radiates through the screen and that has helped me so much in the past two years that I've been watching your videos!
Awh thank you Rutvi! You’re so sweet. that means a lot to me.
And Rachel I‘m so sorry for your little dog but at the Same Time so happy she still made it!💗 i wish you so many more happy moments together 🌞
So excited!!! A Psychiatrist is what I’m aspiring to be!! ❤️❤️
I guess only medical field allows the doctors👨⚕ to explore all the variety it consists of. And that's what I love about it. & to Dr Rachel keep going champ.
❤ from a indian medical aspirant
Ahh i had my psych rotation prior to my O&G atm, so we've swapped haha. best of luck with your boards 💖
So glad Rosie pulled through!!! She really is a tough cookie
Thank you Christelle!!
I love watching your vids!! Btw your skin is beautiful!!! Love your lifestyle, your diet (I wish I can eat like that 😂) literally my fav med RUclipsr even though I’m in nursing school.
Awh love you Daisy!!
Ahh your vlogs make me so happy 🥰 can’t wait to learn about this rotation!!
Oh my gosh!! I also say that when the sky has hues of pink, blue and purple that it reminds me of Trix yogurt!! 😆. They were good!
I’m very sorry about your doggie 😢💖. I hope everything is ok 😔
Thank you for sharing, and I hope Rosie is doing better ❤️
Thank you Lesli
Glad Rosie is hanging in there. What a trooper. xo
She is quite the trooper!
@@RachelSouthard Just like you!! Must run in the fam!!

oh my gooooddd im halfway into the dog part im sorryyy :(
Don't you love that?!
This Rachel is the best Rachel !!
Thank you bby!!!
Ohhh you really had me at the end. Virtual comforting hugs to you 🐨. You're a really strong and inspiring person !! Thanks for all these vlogs. Thanks for introducing us to the "Rachel" ☺️. And as always stay happy n take care of your mental health💪🏻💫
Thank you
I am a social worker in addiction psychiatry and it is definitely a different world then med surg but can be so rewarding
I'm sorry about your dog, and I hope you feel better soon.
You will see so much mental health in woman’s health - learning to pick up on mental health diagnosis and treatment early on will soooo benefit then,
Aww sorry about your dog and also this is a great video❤
Hey! I am so sorry that you are feeling sick. A couple weeks ago my throat started hurting and I waited to go get help for so long. I eventually went to the er because I was in so much pain. Turned out I had mono and tonsillitis. You should try getting tested for that!
*hugs* I hope Rosie continues to improve!!
You are a beautiful human inside out. :) and oh yes can totally relate to the psychiatry rotations, they were very passive for us too. Hope you are doing okay really loved each and every line written at the end of the Vlog.
So glad Rosie was okay 💗
I just recently found out I'm bipolar I was in the psych ward so they could watch me carefully All the doctors and nurses were very nice and made me feel very comfortable I was in there that was the first time I've ever been in the psych ward usually manage me as an outpatient but I was having suicidal thoughts on it happened but I'm doing a lot better now
When
I hope you and rosie are doing okay! 💜
Thanks Morgan :)
Just remind yourself that especially working in Ob you will be using psych! Prenatal anxiety, postpartum depression/psychosis. Mental health is huge in Ob and those who are struggling to conceive and those that maybe didn’t want to be pregnant. Although it might not be a direct correlation you can use these moments and techniques when working with your Ob/gyn patients! I really struggled with prenatal anxiety and I didn’t feel like my doctors were super helpful in assisting me through that
Definitely! In this week's upcoming video, I talk about how I've been asking the doc about PPD and such. Don't you worry! I'm making the best of these non-OBGYN rotations by learning as much as I possibly can about stuff that particularly pertains to my future patients.
My "priorities" are straight. I have a test in 3 hours, but first I have to watch Rachel's vlog😂
Rachel trying different things ♥️♥️♥️
we loveeeee
I hope your dog is fully recovered 🥺🙏🏾
Sending all my love to Rosie and your family ❤️
Hi Rachel! California weather has been a roller coaster the past couple of weeks and when that happens I notice my allergies get worked up. My tonsils get swollen when allergy season starts so maybe it’s your allergies causing your swollen tonsils ;) just a thought :)
YES! my allergies have been terrible.
I hope everything with your dog is ok!!!!!
Is there anyone else in medical school who is afraid of getting some diseases that you study yourself, especially psyche and cancer? I'm in this situation so often and honestly it's a real struggle for me to study these subjects although it makes me scared🙊 would appreciate some other experiences 🙊☺️
Rosie! You pulled through!!
I love psych but I do agree inpatient psych is a lot more interesting!
So excited for this!!!!!
I hope that you are feeling better Rachel, I'm sorry about your dog. What I tell myself with grief is that, they are no longer suffering in pain but grief is definitely really difficult and complex to process ❣️ I had a question about UWorld, do you make notes at the same time or do you just do the questions repeatedly?
What do you think about those who remain unvaccinated against COVID?
Hi, Rachel. My wife is Doctor , I am Roman catholic ✝️ and Happy Easter to u ❤️❤️
What's the song at the end of each vlog , if anyone happens to know please ?
Also i love watching your vlogs Rachel, such a loneliness alleviating, calming experience because i go through what you go through
aha i went to UC yesterday with likely strep as well! poppin' keflex now and on the mend :)
ow oww! Feel better ASAP!
Sorry !!!!! ❤❤😢😢😢 . She is in Heaven. Very sorry.
I just finished my psych rotation and hats off to those are in that field cause for me it was the most boring rotation ever and it was in patient.
Just remember that while it was boring to you, it was possibly a stressful, scary, or traumatic moment in some patients' lives.
Hey beautiful, I'm greatly interested in psych , looking forward to this vlog 💯
This is my rotation to really pay attention. Did u come across any combat vets?
In the building Checking in from Barbados, among the first viewers 😎😎😎😎
All my love to you and Rosie ❤️🌹
Hey Rachel aspiring medical student here, I have kids and so I was wondering on your third year with rotations and everything do you get assigned rotations somewhere close to where you live, do you get to choose where you have rotations or is it just random? Also what is the time frame you do rotations or does it depend? Also you should do a q&a!!!
I'm so sorry for your dog :(
Thank you Andrea
"i see why people like Costco, by people I mean my mom" literally me about chinese shops.
Kisses to Rosie 💗💗💗how old is she?
She knows she is loved and comfortable, that s what s most important for older dogs 🌟💗☀️
She’s 17! My old lady
Wow so funny my wife started her Psych rotation !!!! :) ! STAY SAFE !!!
Rachel, can I ask where you got these beautiful deep plates? I've been looking for some plate/bowl hybrids and these look perfect!
Target! They’re incredible
It’s like a big dog bowl lol
I'll be thinking of your sweet rosie
Thank you Shannon!
I am so sorry for your dog. I wish she will stay as healthy as possible. I am always kidding about the old old dogs, with white hair and arthritis that you always believe they gonna die soon but they stay alive for years lol like old weird grandpas and grandmas. I lost 1 years ago my weird grandpa dog and its very difficult.
): I'm sorry about your own pup.
Two in one week!!
Math is hard
Rafiki is a Swahili word for friend 🙂. Swahili in my national language (Kenya)😎
LOL "...and by people, I mean my mom"
Mama bears love Costco
I have called the sunset colors “yogurt sky” because of trix yogurt since I was a kid!
Such an amazing video!
This video basically includes advertisement for diverse products but (almost) no information abt the actual psych rotation 😂
The psych rotation was very very bland and most patients never appeared to their appointments. 🤷♀️ hence why I didn’t have much to discuss in terms of the rotation.
You only use one alarm?! 🤯 You're wild 😂
Rosie 💝
♥️♥️♥️
what happened in 3:02, MY EAR😭
put yogurt on your face when you have breakouts from stress/caffeine/not enough sleep - I swear this helps :)
Why are you crying Rachel No you should not cry you are ruining your beautiful face! @rachelsouthard
Let go of the negative mindset. I can see how it leads to your emotional breakdowns
🤔🤔🤔 I don’t really hear a negative mindset
Omg yes! As a pre-med wanting to be a Psychiatrist, this is so exciting!!! I can't wait to watch this!!!
Hey me too!!
what are u majoring in?
@@ayyahi what are u majoring in?
So you're telling me that I am getting 2 consecutive videos from Rachel !! Thanks a lot ☺️. Can't wait to get to know some medical terminologies from your rotations 😇
Ooh I feel like we have the same schedule cos I literally just got out of my psych rotation. I can definitely relate to this. Inpatient psych was a very interesting and different part of medicine that I don't think people see enough of. But still really glad to have the experience I did.
Definitely would've liked to see inpatient psych!
in the building waiting from barbados 😎😎😎 we get a double treat this tym round. thanks for always sharing 😊😊😊
Ooh I've been waiting for your psych rotation. I'm interested in going into psych/doing psych research.
Commenting for the algorithm
Inpatient psych was hard for me - pretty emotionally saturating. Got me back in therapy though, so that’s a win!
Thanks Josh!
Awh man. I hope you're doing okay! Yay for therapy :)
Nice! That’s my dream specialty
Nice! :D
Aw Rachel I'm so sorry about your puppy dog, my family dog just passed away last week so I completely understand how that feels. Similarly, he was 14 years old and we just thought he'd live forever. Dogs are angels on earth, I hope Rosie recovers and you get more time with her:)
having a beloved pet become sick or pass away is SOOOO sad!!! i have such admiration for vets -- i hope that she lives many more years and i have always LOVED your screen on your phone with her sweet paws crossed!!! [i think those are her paws anyway :) and i also agree about the motivation to work out to then justify a hair wash LOL]
Yes!!! You’re the only person who noticed this. Those are her cute, elegant crossed paws
@@RachelSouthard aw so sweet -- will be thinking of her and your family and thanks for the response!!! :)
I loved the SOB moment bc that is me on every time I run up flights of stairs. I work in a Pulm Critical Care office and SOB is very common as Im sure you know! I'm excited to see when/if you will go on that rotation and how you will like Critical Care.
Stay Strong! and don’t you forget to be kind to yourself! you are doing amazing !!!
I'm SOB like 23hrs of the day hahah kinda concerned
@@RachelSouthard lol might need a PFT or spiro in the future
, Rachel. Thank u so much for such a beautiful, calming and inspiring video! It is greatly appreciated. Also, Happy Easter to u and urs! 👏🙏🤗❤
The 6:12 AM alarm made me giggle hahah I have the most random timed alarms set too, those extra12 minutes are crucial
Sending so much love to you and Rosie, she is a beautiful gril xxx
So excited we're getting 2 videos in a week!!!
Yay!!
I'm guessing this is about her social life as opposed to her being a doctor? What even is this?
A surprise upload! Excited !! 😆
Statistics Done Wrong by Alex Reinhart is a life saver for me. Very accessible and a super quick read. You might find it helpful.
Thanks for sharing Lelia!
