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!

Hi, doctor! I'm 17 and I'm going to apply for med school next year in my home country. The specialty I'm looking forward to applying for is psychiatry. 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?"

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!

Hey Doctor! I'm currently a high school student who's interested in going into Psychiatry. After residency, are psychiatrists able to practice any field of psychiatry they wish or can they only specialize in one field of psychiatry? I don't know if I phrased my question right so let me know if you don't understand. Thank you in advance!

Would the fact that I was placed on a suicide hold when I was 15 (it was for major depression that resulted in a period of suicidal thoughts and actions and hearing voices and having hallucinations) stop me from being a psychiatrist?

I’m trying to find out everything about it and so far, it seems like the perfect job for me. :) Edit: You explain how suicide is bound to happen with a patient when working long enough as a psychiatrist. I first leaned towards therapy, but after losing a friend to suicide not long ago I officially decided psychiatry to help others work through their struggles through possible medication and psychotherapy. How do you cope with losing a patient to suicide? Does/has it caused you to get anxious with other patients for awhile after? Anxious about them doing the same?

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?"

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!

Sir I am a deeply empathetic person and I do feel very strongly about others. I have been planning to join psychiatry from the time I entered medicine but my conservative family keeps trying to deter me saying it will be emotionally too much for me. How do you keep yourself from becoming overwhelmed by all the human suffering you see on a day today basis ? Do you have any advice? Would we become tougher once we start practicing and learn to adapt ?
