Psychiatry

Since my first rotation was psychiatry, my first medical exposure in year three began with internal medicine. In the past two years, I had become proficient in recognizing answers based on how they looked in multiple-choice format. However, when it came to talking about treatment plans and disease presentations, I essentially became a mute. I was familiar with all the drugs and disease presentations on paper, but I could barely correctly pronounce 25% of knowledge that I knew. Over these past five

to find my calling I sought out many different professions. I began to wonder if I would ever find the correct career for me. Nonetheless, I kept searching and it was when I shadowed Dr. Ashish Sharma I realized my days of searching were over. Psychiatry sparked my interest as nothing else ever had. The brain and its abilities completely captivated me. The idea of treating the brain, yet more importantly the person pulled me toward

judging someone because they identify themselves differently or like a person of the same-sex. When I started the Psychiatric DNP program at Columbia School of Nursing, we were asking to introduce ourselves and tell a short story about why we chose Psychiatry. When it was my turn, I spoke about my experiences during my Community Rotation in the MDE program. For this rotation, I did home visits for older LGBT people. During this time, I met a transgender woman who informed me about a time she saw doctor

Before proposing a course I believe it is vital for one to first understand the concept military psychology. The practice of psychology or psychiatry in the military has been around for decades. The military needs psychologist to help choose the best men and women possible to serve and protect.

Renee's idea of Psychiatry was to spend a few hours each day in the Psych unit, make a few remarks about how lucky he was to have such a good student like Bernard taking care of his patients, and retreat to his abode on the Champs a la Roosevelt Boulevard for an evening of French wine and great thoughts. Luckily, Dr. Bill was aware of the situation and made himself available to Bernie whenever the Big One needed help. Dr. Bill also gave Jon the opportunity to take advantage of his services, but

of the main reasons that psychiatry is the medical field that appeals to me most. I realized that physicians can make a big difference in people lives by just addressing their mental health issues.Such duties and my everyday experiences in the wards with varied mental disorders in varied age groups and with varied presentations keep reminding me of my love for the branch and reinforce my interest in the field of psychiatry. I fell head over heels in love with psychiatry, and like wine, it only gets

and psychiatry. Throughout this course I got to learn more about these two career paths and more. Going into the course, I thought it would make me more interested in one or both and it did. However, as I began learning about the other aspects of forensic science, I discovered that I might be more interested in another field that I did not know much about before. While I did discover more fields within forensic science that intrigue me, I still want to follow the path of forensic psychiatry. Besides

philosophical views of scholars and researchers about this. I find Psychiatry endlessly intriguing, and feel lucky to have this opportunity to pursue a career in this field. The paradox that mental illness can be so intangible draws me to the intellectual challenges inherent in this specialty. My experience while working as a resident in Psychiatry department at the Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences, one of the top Neuro-psychiatry institutes in India, brought me closer to this dream and made

The Fraud of Modern Psychiatry The word "psychology" is the combination of two terms - study (ology) and soul (psyche), or mind.

I chose nursing as my Behavioral Science area of study. I would greatly like to get my Masters in Nursing Psychiatry because I have a very personal connection to psychiatric health. My family has suffered from depression, and my father suffered from addiction to alcohol. He died when I was 15, and it was partially due to his alcoholism. He refused to get treatment. My step-sister was addicted to meth and is now in prison because of it, and has missed six years of her son’s life. I believe that that
