Psychiatry, replete with both its allure and pragmatism, intrigues me. However, my appreciation of this specialty did not occur spontaneously. Becoming a physician has always been a life beautiful dream that led me into medicine. Early on in medical school, I knew that I wanted several things from my career as a physician, including intellectual challenge, ongoing close relationships with my patients, and the opportunity to give quality care to patients with fewer resources. At the beginning of

medical profession inspired me to pursue medicine. The unending human quest to conquer disease and the advances in managing diseases has always been intriguing. As Hippocrates said, to cure the human body, it is necessary to have a knowledge of all. Psychiatry was that specialty during the clinical rotation in medical school which enabled me to contemplate various aspects of life. Learning about the mind, from mental conditions to illnesses, and learning from people whose minds work differently than the

eyes while reading foreign literature in high school and I pondered for a while about its meaning. Years later, I came to realize how strongly it relates to the ultimate purpose of psychiatry, the medical study of ‘living life’ in a worthwhile and healthy manner. My father is a distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at Cairo University who often brought up topics to the family about thinking, behavior, emotions and mental well-being around the dinner table.

Benefits of Tele-psychiatry Access to mental health care for underprivileged patients is the primary benefit of Tele-psychiatry. Tele-psychiatry provides mental health care to rural or remote areas.

categorized as a panic attack. I researched it and found that it was not purely a physical illness; instead, it was psychologically driven. That was what sparked my interest to learn more about the human mind and the physical responses it can create. Psychiatry is a field of medicine that is boundless. Furthermore, it is integral to all of medicine. Many patients develop psychological sequelae as a result of other chronic illnesses. I have always been intrigued by the impact that our emotions have on our

Introduction Modern Psychiatry is the result of gradual progressions in understanding and activism. Some researchers discern four revolutions in the continuing development of Psychiatry, the third of which is explained in the 2nd Chapter of Kristi Kanal's A guide to crisis intervention (Kanel, 2012). Erich Lindermann and Gerald Caplan certainly deserve a prominent place, not only in the context of those four revolutions but also in spearheading the formal crisis intervention that is an integral

The unending human quest to conquer disease and the phenomenal advancements in the management of diseases has always intrigued me. As Hippocrates said, to cure the human body it is necessary to have knowledge of the whole of things. Psychiatry was the only specialty during my clinical rotation in medical school that enabled me to think about myself, about other people, and about life in general.

There are various branches of science that are essential for psychiatry and this further adds to the potential
