I am already a sophomore in pre-med with a major in biology and a minor in Psychology. I am super scared of how difficult this road is gonna be and the tremendous debt i’m gonna be in, but when i become a psychiatric physician it’s gonna be like a hobby instead of a job. any wise words from you, would be amazing!

I've always found myself being interested in the malfunctionality of the brain and the bio-psychosocial consequential results. I personally have an aim to continue my aftergraduate education in Switzerland where the residency of psychiatry and psychotherapy is six years minimum. It's a satisfying field and I want to help improving the quality of mental health care system. My main aim is to create an innovative preventative plan for patients with psychotic disorders and more specifically catatonic schizophrenia. This video was amazing and I hope you have a great day!

I would imagine being a Psychiatrist helps you in your personal relationships. But, this could largely be through managing your own self, given your education and experience. (Plus, for fellas of our age, wisdom tends to come with the passing years.) However, are there times when being a Psychiatrist feels like a detriment, when dealing with family or friends? I'm sure that would largely depend on the other person, but I can imagine some of my family or friends feeling intimidated by talking with me, if I were a Psychiatrist. Something like: "What? Are you analyzing me?"

Love the joke, you literally made me laugh so much my abdomen started hurting. Great sense of humor.

Hello! I’m currently a pre-med students with my eyes on psychiatry. I recently shadowed a psychiatrist and it appeared the bulk of her work was 15 minute medication management appointments. As someone with a particular interest in performing psychotherapy in conjunction with medication management, I was a little startled by her approach as it seems to be the norm in psychiatry. I whole-heartedly believe this is the correct path for me, but I worry about psychotherapy’s place in psychiatry since the pharmacology revolution. Is it still possible to be a psychiatrist who practices a significant degree of psychotherapy while also medication managing? Thanks:) I appreciate your videos!

​@@goertzpsychiatry9340what makes you think you know someone's brain. Better then them? You think your God?

Hello, doctor! I'm in my first year at law school. I met a psyichatirst who told me that i have the perfect skills to do this profession, but i don't know what to say. I've always thought that i'm not as good at biochimstry. That doctor told me that my psychology is very good, i'm a human detector and i should give it a try. I have a lack of courage. I have to admit that i always had a passion about mental health, but i choose law school because i'm really good at writting and analizing a lot of situatuons. Can you give me a pieace of advice?

Hi Mihaela, To me it sounds like you have the skills to excel as a lawyer or as a psychiatrist. There is also the field of forensic psychiatry. I have known some psychiatrists who were also lawyers. It seems best to pursue the career that you are most passionate about. Peter

That happens a lot. It is often not easy. Social and drug/alcohol problems are often connected with psychiatric problems. I just do the best I can. It helps me to realize, that so called small things, like making a patient smile, can make a big difference.

I am considering trying to be a psychiatrist, but I am really interested in doing a lot of psychotherapy as well as diagnosing patients and prescribing medication. From what I've seen online, though, it seems like most psychiatrists do just prescriptions now and refer patients to clinical psychologists for psychotherapy. Do you think I would be able to do a lot of psychotherapy as well as a psychiatrist, or should I go into clinical psychology instead?

Thank you for your comment! I enjoy doing both psychotherapy and medication management. I am able to do a good amount of both in my current work. Often it serves the patient well to do both with one person. It can also be less expensive in the long run. Best, Peter Goertz

In my opinion it is wise to trust your own best judgement, rather than accepting the opinions of others(including mine). It sounds like a good psychotherapist, and possibly a good psychiatrist might be helpful to you.

Hi Valerie, Thank you for addressing this important issue. Every medication is a double edged sword: it can cause helpful effects and it can cause harmful effects. The dilemma facing a doctor is, that it is impossible to entirely predict what effects a medication will have on a given patient at a given time. It is important for patients to be informed of this.
