I really really want to be a psychiatrist but people try to scare me off by how much schooling is involved and how hard it is..... How do I know that I really want to do this????
this has definitely calmed me down about being a psychiatrist. my teacher told me these crazy, bizarre stories about med school and i’ve been worrying for a few days. thank you for this video!
@@feederdiaries4862 Which drugs are you talking about? This is utter nonsense, they do not kill anyone. Do you have any evidence for people being killed for being crazy? Btw have you ever seen how batshit crazy those people are that have to be taken into wards? Those are people that are at immediate risk of harming themselves and the people in their close environment, including children and parents.
Mandalo Rian well if you look extensively in the history of psychiatry, you’d know that the so called illnesses aren’t actually based on any facts. In fact it has been scientifically proven that there’s no such thing as a chemical imbalance. I mean, these are the same people that created lobotomies! Why would you trust them? Also it actually had been proven that these drugs can be harmful to you and can kill you. There’ve even been psychiatrists themselves that have abused their patients. It’s not a good business to get into.
Dr Kass is the man! Went to see him during his 3rd year of residency. I have never had a therapist treat me with more respect, and also be successful in what they set out to fix.
Turn to bible and allow CHRIST to be your therapist, psychologist and psychiatrist. No man nor women fits to be one. All are sinners and without glory, all are tempted and suffer the same. All are expected to REPENT AND BORN AGAIN, to LIVE HOLY AND GO AND SIN NO MORE. All are weak in the daily fight between their spirit and flesh. All these therapist, psychologist and psychiatrist, this world provides, can do is: to deceive and steal. They deceived you through all these “diagnoses” and they steal your money, through all the pills which you “need”. In short: they poison your mind and your overall health, leaving you with neither one. Therapist, Psychologist and Psychiatrist = Field where no human soul, never ever going to fit of being an help, no matter the among of years spend in “medical schools” or the decree gotten from there. ALL of us are daily deceived, no matter the walks of life.
Dr.Kass is awesome I was a former high school student of his. I still remember him teaching us biology and the stories of Oliver Sacks “The man who mistook his wife for a hat”. He’s a great Doctor/Friend/Mentor.
Reading Oliver Sacks is what initially piqued my interest in neurology when I was a med student back in the 80s. Been a neuro for thirty years, now. Psychiatry is an interesting, growing, and important medical specialty. I got crap for wanting to be a neurologist when I was starting out; it's YOUR life, do what makes you happy. Choose a specialty that feeds your intellect, pays your bills and any educational debts, and gives you the life-work balance you desire. Bottom line, you're helping other humans in whatever specialty field you love.
It's really upsetting to see people talking shit about psychiatry, psychology, psychiatrists,... It's such an amazing job to help people out there suffering from mental illnesses. I, myself go to a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Both of them help me a lot and they're such an inspiration. Being a psychiatrist or even a psychologist is so stressful. You have to deal with many patients' issues and then when you lose them, it's terrible. So please have some respect for them. For those wanting to becoming a psychiatrist: It's a great job if you're interested in it. And it's not only about prescribing meds as some people who are probably high school dropouts in the comment section are claiming. It's a lot more than that. All the best.
would you mind going more into how psychiatry isn’t just prescribing medication? how does a role of psychiatrist really differ from that of a psychologist and do you think it’s worth it all those years of med school? or should someone just opt for psychology instead? thanks in advance!
Yes! I completely agree with his reasons in choosing Psychiatry, it’s listening to all of their stories and how each human was molded and influenced differently from their environment and of course the wide ranges of biopsychosocial factors. Thanks for this!

I said *compared to other medical specialties. I was also basing my comment off of the day in the life of Dr. Kass. You must have something wrong in your mind for judging random ppl on the Internet just saying
How does psychiatry being a pseudoscience equate to being unbalanced and unreasonable? Your logic itself is abysmal. SSRIs are an effective treatment for depression -- this has been supported by clinical trials and actual scientific experiments. You know what isn't science? Pulling bs arguments out of your ass.
Show me a Single Psychiatric patient who’s Been mentally disturbed before going into therapy, That lives a normal live without the need of taking psychiatric drugs and I’ll accept Psychiatric as a Validated science.
depression is tricky. I may agree to a certain extent that there's heavy pharmaceutical ties and financial motives behind some self funded clinical trials in depression/tx resistant depression and that the findings are not always translatable to clinical practice. That said, i disagree with your statement that psychiatry is a pseudoscience. Theres strong neuroscience to back it up. Psychosis in schizophrenia or even drug-induced psychosis has strong underlying neural mechanisms (dopamine/5HT, frontal cortex) as shown by imaging studies. And I'm saying these are longitudinal studies that have looked at >700 people across many years of their lives. Bipolar is another one and mood stabilizers (lithium) have shown great efficacies in reducing mania episodes. My point is, medicine doesn't just cure disorders, it helps improve quality of life, especially in those with chronic debilitating conditions like schizos/bipolar. And psychiatry is about getting these folks back to their lives where they can function in the society. Bro, whatever beliefs/values you hold, I respect your opinion. I just disagree with your statement. glad to hear your thoughts tho
Thank you for this interview! After grinding my way through different specialties for a few years after med school I wanted to try something different. This video was one of the things that gave me the confidence to switch into psych. I‘m in my 3rd year of residency by now and I‘m not going back. Psych is one of the fields that transforms and evolves you in a way I hadn‘t imagined. I‘m finally happy with what I do.
I'm in the first year of psych residency in Brazil, searched for this video out of curiosity about how it works in the US. It's pretty much the same around here, a good middle point between having an interesting work routine while maintaining hobbies and a good life.
I'm in med school and recently thought about majoring in psychiatry . this video corrected lots of illusions I had about the field and got me really excited to think about it seriously . Thank you SM
Just a question just want a opinion on why you do have any objective testing on serotonin yer you blame it all on serotonin while no test is perfect I just don't understand why many psychrurst don't understand they thing like infection which can cause OCD many mental health disorders have psychuk cause I am just wondering why you don't do a better job I am genrlssing your profession a bit but with medication that can increase the Risk of suicide in people I just don't understand why you wouldn't be more careful
Psychiatry has always been on my top lists of careers. However I went on to explore other careers like journalism and theatre arts just to come back to find my first love still waiting for me more now than ever. I went back to school to get my AAS and thought I would be in business management, after taking psychology again I remembered how much I loved to study the mind ever since I was a child. I never thought about actually becoming a doctor in it until now.I have so many reasons as to why I want to become one but now I'm just researching which schools are right for me to receive my bachelor's and so forth. As exciting as this is I think I'll keep this journey to myself until I'm complete with getting my degree. I don't want any distractions.
I am a psychology student who's planning to become a psychiatrist someday. I am also seeing a psychiatrist for my mental illness and I cherish her a lot because she has helped me deal with my issues. she's a great person overall ❤️❤️. secondly, I am planning to become one because I want to help people who have gone through what I've gone through and it's sentimental for me. I want them to get better.❤️❤️ thank you for this video, it's very inspirational and helpful for those who wantd to become a psychiatrist. Dr. Kass seems a great person, I am glad he is helping people out there ❤️❤️
I would advise people to shadow a psychologist and ward. It will really let you see if you want to become one. I’ve worked as a security officer in a hospital and let me tell you. It can be so rewarding and so exhausting at the same time. People get violent when they’re not in their right mind. Just food for thought
I am in the process of becoming a psychiatrist. Currently in my 2nd year of college, this video made me so excited for when I'm finally at the point of completing my residency. I have a lot of schizophrenic family members and I just really want to be the change in how this mental health disorder is seen and even treated. Thank you for this super helpful vid!
I plan on entering the field as well, and am very excited for it. Very inspiring, definitely confirmed a lot of what I was already thinking about the profession. Thank :)
Galderik the fact that you came to a video about psychiatry just to hate and destroy other people’s aspirations shows your pathetic personality, not to mention the fact you liked your own comment
Thank you so much for this video. It gave me an in-depth, realistic view of med-School and residency. I have fallen in love with treating and helping people heal through designing treatment plans for patients. This video helped solidify why I desire to go into psychiatry.
That could be good or bad for me. I’m 14 rn and want to be a Psychiatrist since there isn’t much competition, it’s well payed, and has a nice lifestyle
That 8-5 schedule is really appealing. I'm torn between psychiatry and Internal Medicine. Can you suggest any psychiatry exterships or observerships? US-IMG here. Your reply would be greatly appreciated
Also YES. Thank you so much for clarifying schizophrenia. So many times I have to explain to people the difference between MPD and schizophrenia. But there's different types of schizophrenia and they can look very different from each other too. Like paranoid schizophrenia, will look different from auditory schizophrenia. Schizo-affective will look different as well. That's all. 🤣
If you suspect that you may be have schizophrenia it's best to go see a psychiatrist or psychologist. I'm not qualified just yet to diagnose you, especially not over the internet. However, the DSM has the classifications in which someone would use to diagnose a patient with Schizophrenia. Auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, paranoia, delusions, disorganized speech or behavior are all symptoms. Those are positive symptoms. Negative symptoms could Include lessened emotional expression, lessened inner personal skills, etc. These symptoms have to have been happening for a continued amount of time with in a specific pairing. A psychiatrist or psychologist may also look into schizioaffective disorder or other mood disorders or delusion disorders depending. The good news? There's a variety of treatment for Schizophrenia and many people who live normal healthy lives. The sooner you get help the more likely it is you'll be onto your new normal and adjusted. I can't wait for you to get there and we're cheering you on. Best, Rhi
Woooh wooh woow it was my dream to become a doctor since grade 1 && later I decided & I really want yo become a psychiatrist. I've searched about it a lot. Randomly this video popped up on my wall. Thankyou sooo much!!!!!! ❤❤
Thank you for the video, very informative and it helped me make a decision. The comment section has a couple of people who should consider psychiatric help.
I'm fifteen and recently I've felt like I really want to pursue psychiatry ever since I found a book about it in my house lol and now I'm so interested
I’m 19, have never cared for school and I want to be a psychiatrist but I’m scared of the great grades I have to achieve. I start college Spring semester.
I don't understand why there's so much hate for psychiatry from the public. Understanding the link between mental health and the brain is very important. I get that people have suffered from the treatment of individual psychiatrists themselves, but to say psychiatry is a pseudoscience and not a valid medical field is pretty ignorant. The DSM is imperfect, psychiatrists are imperfect too, but these people are highly trained, knowledgeable and most often want the best for their patients. Sad that the public opinion of psychiatry is like this. Let's destigmatize.
I'm on disability for depression. I was born with a minor deformity of my fingers from my left hand. I also have a stutter that I think is the major problem I'm having problems mentally and emotionally.
I am going Into high schools I really want to learn a lot about mental illness. I want to be a psychiatrist when I'm older. I even have my own mental health blog on qoura. I love it and hope I can one day help others when it comes to mental health professionally.
Im a senior medical student and i have a really growing interest in psychiatry, I couldn’t see my self in a speciality different than psych. However, my only concern about choosing it is feeling that I’m wasting all my medical knowledge in a field that doesn’t use it much! Please share your thoughts
No bro you will always use what you learnt in Internal medicine and other specialities. It is pretty much like practicing internal medicine you examine patient see meds he takes and then perscribe drugs or edit doses.
He is right, you will definitely be using your other medical knowledge too. I was also worried about this but you’ll see when you start working. Also, a lot of these patients you will be with for a long time and honestly they depend on you. They build like a trust with you. And from my experience they ask me about my opinion on other medical problems they have. They show me EKGs, opinion in if they should to a surgery or not, etc. Ofcourse, if I know I help. If I’m not 100% sure cuz I don’t use that information everyday and it’s not my specialty, I be honest and tell them what I think but that they should follow up with a specialist. Trust bro, you will apply your medical knowledge
I’m only 13, bit I’ve always wanted to be a trama doctor or paramedic. (Leaning toward trama doctor). You see people at their worst, but see them leave healed. The connection with colleagues to me is amazing. I want to be in a hospital every day I can be, night shifts, and on-call room discussions, I just can’t wait!
@Galderik That's often the stereotype of psychiatrists, at least in my country. That they're often mentally more sick than the patients they're treating.
Trying to decide if I should try going to med school to be a psychiatrist or to continue on to my masters to do psychology as a therapist and potentially a psychologist. 😭 Help. Lol I basically have a year and a half to decide but HATE not being set in stone.
Rhiannon Houghteling it depends if you would want to sacrifice a couple of year of your life. I don’t recommend doing it 100% for the paycheck but you would be getting payed a lot more as a psychiatrist than as a Psychologist. It’s a pretty chill career as far as I’m concerned and if you really want to do it then go for it!
You should also think if you believe medicine would help some people with their mental health because if you go through becoming a psychiatrist, but don't feel comfortable prescribing medicine to patients that might need it, then I don't reccomend studying for the psychiatrist path. Also remember never decide a career because of the salary because you need to make sure you enjoy this career path. I wish you luck for what path you end up choosing!
I can't tell you what you need to do, but follow your interests and talk to as many in these fields as you can. I posted a few videos about being drawn to the speciality. Good luck!
I want to be a psychiatrist when I grow up, but I’m undecided whether I should take a psychology or neuroscience major. I wouldn’t mind taking either, because psychology helps develop the skills needed to talk to patients, and neuroscience is an in-depth learning of the brain and nervous system, which I love learning. What advice would be given in this case?
Double major if you think you can. I'm double majoring in bio and psych. If a double major isn't possible then see if you can do one as a minor or just take classes from that field. Good luck!
@@danielaf.5001 It depends on the course load for each major and your gen ed's. I got a lot of my gen ed's done when I came in/covered in the major. You probably would have to take more than the average number of credits for several semesters (at my school the average is 16 and I've taken 18, 20, 20, 22 in my first 4 semesters). You could start as a minor and change to a major once you figure out the course load and what you can handle while still taking care of yourself. For me it hasn't been all that bad but I'm just generally stressed so idk lol
u can take psychology but to be able to go far in that field, u have to do further studies n maybe do Clinical Psychology or Forensic Psychology etc, Psychiatry is tougher bcos u need to finish the whole medical school then only u can enter the residency
Okay, so long story short, I’ve decided to that I want to be a psychiatrist, but I’m not sure what the steps are from my bachelors. I’m two years out from my undergrad in psychology. What would you recommend as my next steps to get me where you are?
Hi Juliet. Please ignore Aeritecn, clearly this is more about him than you. To answer your question, to be a psychiatric you need to attend 4 years of medical school as well as an additional 3 years of psychiatry residency. You should start by googling medical school requirements. The general pre-requisites include a year of biology, a year of inorganic chemistry, a year of organic chemistry, a year of physics, a year of math, and the rest will be covered by your psych degree including some of the math (e.g. statistics) and behavioral sciences. You can complete these courses at a community college, as part of a post bach program, or maybe you’ve already completed them. Once you finish those courses, the next step would be to start studying for the MCAT, which is about a 7-hour long test covering all the topics you’ll learn from your pre req classes. There’s a lot to be done, and it’s definitely not an easy path, but if you’re genuinely interested, I say it’s never too late to look into it! Feel free to email me at snajary94@gmail.com if you have any further questions!
Yes! I’m a psychiatrist with both :) I find I can relate better to my patients. Thankfully my symptoms are not severe enough to interfere with my work. But I was still nervous about it- and I’m glad I did it!
@Targetta you sound like a broken record and are getting side tracked , i just pointed out the inconsistency in your argument . Which is it do psychiatrist have mental illness or do they not?
Most psychiatry residency is based on med management with some component of behavior therapy. Most of the behavior therapy is referred to psychologists
Symptoms of behavioral and cognitive disorders in adults: - Impulsiveness and hyperactivity, with inability to regulate behavior. - Poor concentration and short-term memory. - Constant mood and personality changes. - Emotional immaturity. - Inability to be aware and correct their negative traits and mistakes. - Childish and loud behavior. - Lack of empathy and understanding the perspective of others. - Little or no perseverance and discipline. - Erratic, disorganized and unpredictable behavior. - Obsessions and compulsions. - Inability to remain quiet in public spaces. - Poor spatial skills and clumsy demeanor. - Outbursts of neurosis.
I find psychiatry fascinating, but I don’t think I would be able to help people with mental illness without feeling really sad. Especially the patients who don’t get better. 😢
U will do all right...it's like digestion..as long as u put in boiled food..well heated... symbolically speaking.. A guy in Manipal told me this... I think a psych has to see if they r chill...if no chill maybe take a break... But it will hard for patients....

I'm in the first year of psych residency in Brazil, searched for this video out of curiosity about how it works in the US. It's pretty much the same around here, a good middle point between having an interesting work routine while maintaining hobbies and a good life.
I'm in med school and recently thought about majoring in psychiatry . this video corrected lots of illusions I had about the field and got me really excited to think about it seriously . Thank you SM
How's med school I really wanna know. Can you tell me the pros and cons. What to expect
same can you please let us know how med school is lmfao
We need more of psych residents!...i love psychiatry and want to opt in future...😊....thanks doc
Thanks for watching ibro!
Just a question just want a opinion on why you do have any objective testing on serotonin yer you blame it all on serotonin while no test is perfect I just don't understand why many psychrurst don't understand they thing like infection which can cause OCD many mental health disorders have psychuk cause I am just wondering why you don't do a better job I am genrlssing your profession a bit but with medication that can increase the Risk of suicide in people I just don't understand why you wouldn't be more careful
Another gila gila bodoh wannabe

Do You Know How To Tell If Someone If Schizophrenic? I'm Scared I Am…
This makes me SO pumped to become a psychiatrist
After quarantine, gonna save money from my current job to go to medschool 😍❤ this is a sign
Psychiatry has always been on my top lists of careers. However I went on to explore other careers like journalism and theatre arts just to come back to find my first love still waiting for me more now than ever. I went back to school to get my AAS and thought I would be in business management, after taking psychology again I remembered how much I loved to study the mind ever since I was a child. I never thought about actually becoming a doctor in it until now.I have so many reasons as to why I want to become one but now I'm just researching which schools are right for me to receive my bachelor's and so forth. As exciting as this is I think I'll keep this journey to myself until I'm complete with getting my degree. I don't want any distractions.
"Thanks for hanging out at my lovely overpriced San Francisco apartment" lol. San Francisco housing pricing is nuts
not as nuts as palo alto!
I am a psychology student who's planning to become a psychiatrist someday. I am also seeing a psychiatrist for my mental illness and I cherish her a lot because she has helped me deal with my issues. she's a great person overall ❤️❤️. secondly, I am planning to become one because I want to help people who have gone through what I've gone through and it's sentimental for me. I want them to get better.❤️❤️ thank you for this video, it's very inspirational and helpful for those who wantd to become a psychiatrist. Dr. Kass seems a great person, I am glad he is helping people out there ❤️❤️
This is so wholesome! Definitely shows me a different side of psychiatry and makes me want to become one more! Thank you
I would advise people to shadow a psychologist and ward. It will really let you see if you want to become one. I’ve worked as a security officer in a hospital and let me tell you. It can be so rewarding and so exhausting at the same time. People get violent when they’re not in their right mind. Just food for thought
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Going into med school, I wanted to do one field, but now I’m really deciding between 2 different specialties.
Go the other specialty
@@saifulismail641 HAHAHAHA
I am in the process of becoming a psychiatrist. Currently in my 2nd year of college, this video made me so excited for when I'm finally at the point of completing my residency. I have a lot of schizophrenic family members and I just really want to be the change in how this mental health disorder is seen and even treated. Thank you for this super helpful vid!
I love your vibe, you're so relaxed 💛
I need more of these! Very interested in psychiatry
Yes you are very bodoh bodoh and gila
@@saifulismail641 tf does that mean
I plan on entering the field as well, and am very excited for it. Very inspiring, definitely confirmed a lot of what I was already thinking about the profession. Thank :)
Psych Life!!! So pumped to start medical school :)
Congrats on med school. Forget the haters and keep it pushing! 👍
Galderik the fact that you came to a video about psychiatry just to hate and destroy other people’s aspirations shows your pathetic personality, not to mention the fact you liked your own comment
Galderik shut up fat ass
Yes! Gila Life!!! Go graduate to be bodoh! Yippppeeeee! 🙂
How's med school going?
Applying to psych this year. This video convinced me to take a good look at it. Thanks, Dr. Jubbal!
much love to the nick, eric and the rest of the psyc team at ucsf
I want to get residency in Psychiatry at Stanford or at UCSF!!! Both are my top choices. Praying to God for that.
I too am contemplating between plastic surgery and psychiatry, but I never knew this particular dilemma was more common!
🤨
Super insight into the work and wellness balance. Thanks for sharing such an articulate resume into Psyche life : - )
this video is fantastic , im gonna be doing the sat’s next year and im really considering becoming a psychiatrist , this video was amazing !!
Thank you so much for this video. It gave me an in-depth, realistic view of med-School and residency. I have fallen in love with treating and helping people heal through designing treatment plans for patients. This video helped solidify why I desire to go into psychiatry.
Psych is going to blow up in the next few years. It could become one of the highest paid docs. Even at this time there’s a lot of shortage already
plus there are lots of mental health issue coming up these recent years n im pretty sure the number will keep increasing
That could be good or bad for me. I’m 14 rn and want to be a Psychiatrist since there isn’t much competition, it’s well payed, and has a nice lifestyle
@@matthewreyes9640 Basically the same for me
That 8-5 schedule is really appealing. I'm torn between psychiatry and Internal Medicine. Can you suggest any psychiatry exterships or observerships? US-IMG here. Your reply would be greatly appreciated
The best choice would depend on your personality.
Love to see one of these in a different state
awesome video, really helped me decide to start my path into psychiatry after a lot of indecisiveness. thank you!!!
Also YES. Thank you so much for clarifying schizophrenia. So many times I have to explain to people the difference between MPD and schizophrenia. But there's different types of schizophrenia and they can look very different from each other too. Like paranoid schizophrenia, will look different from auditory schizophrenia. Schizo-affective will look different as well. That's all. 🤣
I Think I Might Be Schizophrenic, Do You Know How To Tell If Someone Is Schizophrenic?
If you suspect that you may be have schizophrenia it's best to go see a psychiatrist or psychologist. I'm not qualified just yet to diagnose you, especially not over the internet. However, the DSM has the classifications in which someone would use to diagnose a patient with Schizophrenia. Auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, paranoia, delusions, disorganized speech or behavior are all symptoms. Those are positive symptoms. Negative symptoms could Include lessened emotional expression, lessened inner personal skills, etc.
These symptoms have to have been happening for a continued amount of time with in a specific pairing.
A psychiatrist or psychologist may also look into schizioaffective disorder or other mood disorders or delusion disorders depending.
The good news? There's a variety of treatment for Schizophrenia and many people who live normal healthy lives. The sooner you get help the more likely it is you'll be onto your new normal and adjusted. I can't wait for you to get there and we're cheering you on.
Best,
Rhi
Love the video! I’m interested in going into psychiatry :) this is very informative
In the 4:30 min Kevin is saying "it's 4:30" 😅 am I the only one who noticed this?
I noticed it too😂
Wow scary what are the odds of that ?
Great vlog, great content & great music! Thank you for sharing :)
Love your insights on San Francisco and medicine wooo ✋🏼
Woooh wooh woow it was my dream to become a doctor since grade 1 && later I decided & I really want yo become a psychiatrist. I've searched about it a lot. Randomly this video popped up on my wall. Thankyou sooo much!!!!!! ❤❤
psychiatrists are not doctors. Psychiatry is bullshit. Please spend all that effort and years of study to become a real doctor
Thank you for the video, very informative and it helped me make a decision. The comment section has a couple of people who should consider psychiatric help.
This was an awesome interview!
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm fifteen and recently I've felt like I really want to pursue psychiatry ever since I found a book about it in my house lol and now I'm so interested
This was sooo interesting and informative!
So cool, thanks! Definitely more interested in the career.
I’m 19, have never cared for school and I want to be a psychiatrist but I’m scared of the great grades I have to achieve. I start college Spring semester.
Hope it worked out
I don't understand why there's so much hate for psychiatry from the public. Understanding the link between mental health and the brain is very important. I get that people have suffered from the treatment of individual psychiatrists themselves, but to say psychiatry is a pseudoscience and not a valid medical field is pretty ignorant. The DSM is imperfect, psychiatrists are imperfect too, but these people are highly trained, knowledgeable and most often want the best for their patients. Sad that the public opinion of psychiatry is like this. Let's destigmatize.
Thanks a ton...gave a lot of clarity!!!
Im literally stuck between surgery & psych ! good to see its not that uncommon lol!
Go surgery
It's not.. I'm stuck between those two too
You gotta choose because they are two completely different routes
I like psychiatry it’s my first choice. What engages my mind is that what’s the worst thing may happen in psychiatry?
the patient themselves most likely
I'm on disability for depression. I was born with a minor deformity of my fingers from my left hand. I also have a stutter that I think is the major problem I'm having problems mentally and emotionally.
🤗
Please do life of radiologist :)
Psychiatrists have the best stories to tell!!
Yes about how bodoh and gila they themselves are
@@saifulismail641 who the fuck are you
It was so helpful! Thank you!
I’ve always been interested in Psychiatry all my life and seeing these videos sort of just makes it even more intense ✨
Wish me luck for my future 💗
I am going Into high schools I really want to learn a lot about mental illness. I want to be a psychiatrist when I'm older. I even have my own mental health blog on qoura. I love it and hope I can one day help others when it comes to mental health professionally.
Im a senior medical student and i have a really growing interest in psychiatry, I couldn’t see my self in a speciality different than psych. However, my only concern about choosing it is feeling that I’m wasting all my medical knowledge in a field that doesn’t use it much! Please share your thoughts
No bro you will always use what you learnt in Internal medicine and other specialities. It is pretty much like practicing internal medicine you examine patient see meds he takes and then perscribe drugs or edit doses.
He is right, you will definitely be using your other medical knowledge too. I was also worried about this but you’ll see when you start working. Also, a lot of these patients you will be with for a long time and honestly they depend on you. They build like a trust with you. And from my experience they ask me about my opinion on other medical problems they have. They show me EKGs, opinion in if they should to a surgery or not, etc. Ofcourse, if I know I help. If I’m not 100% sure cuz I don’t use that information everyday and it’s not my specialty, I be honest and tell them what I think but that they should follow up with a specialist. Trust bro, you will apply your medical knowledge
I cannot waittttt!
I’m only 13, bit I’ve always wanted to be a trama doctor or paramedic. (Leaning toward trama doctor). You see people at their worst, but see them leave healed. The connection with colleagues to me is amazing. I want to be in a hospital every day I can be, night shifts, and on-call room discussions, I just can’t wait!

You also must place on your mcat if you want to be one. Get good grades and do mission trips or volunteer to better your chances

@Galderik That's often the stereotype of psychiatrists, at least in my country. That they're often mentally more sick than the patients they're treating.
I am a Clinical Psychologist. Your Psychiatrists look so nice over there...
Your profession like psychiatry, is a pseudoscience.
Trying to decide if I should try going to med school to be a psychiatrist or to continue on to my masters to do psychology as a therapist and potentially a psychologist. 😭 Help. Lol I basically have a year and a half to decide but HATE not being set in stone.
Rhiannon Houghteling it depends if you would want to sacrifice a couple of year of your life. I don’t recommend doing it 100% for the paycheck but you would be getting payed a lot more as a psychiatrist than as a Psychologist. It’s a pretty chill career as far as I’m concerned and if you really want to do it then go for it!
You should also think if you believe medicine would help some people with their mental health because if you go through becoming a psychiatrist, but don't feel comfortable prescribing medicine to patients that might need it, then I don't reccomend studying for the psychiatrist path. Also remember never decide a career because of the salary because you need to make sure you enjoy this career path. I wish you luck for what path you end up choosing!
I can't tell you what you need to do, but follow your interests and talk to as many in these fields as you can. I posted a few videos about being drawn to the speciality. Good luck!
Well if you want to be a psychiatrist start studying for the MCAT now!!!
I want to be a psychiatrist when I grow up, but I’m undecided whether I should take a psychology or neuroscience major. I wouldn’t mind taking either, because psychology helps develop the skills needed to talk to patients, and neuroscience is an in-depth learning of the brain and nervous system, which I love learning. What advice would be given in this case?
Double major if you think you can. I'm double majoring in bio and psych. If a double major isn't possible then see if you can do one as a minor or just take classes from that field. Good luck!
Is double majoring as stressful as it sounds?
@@danielaf.5001 It depends on the course load for each major and your gen ed's. I got a lot of my gen ed's done when I came in/covered in the major. You probably would have to take more than the average number of credits for several semesters (at my school the average is 16 and I've taken 18, 20, 20, 22 in my first 4 semesters). You could start as a minor and change to a major once you figure out the course load and what you can handle while still taking care of yourself. For me it hasn't been all that bad but I'm just generally stressed so idk lol
u can take psychology but to be able to go far in that field, u have to do further studies n maybe do Clinical Psychology or Forensic Psychology etc, Psychiatry is tougher bcos u need to finish the whole medical school then only u can enter the residency
Neuropsychiatry
3:19 Literally the reason we are all wearing masks
I love your videos, they are very informative and you kinda look like buzz lightyear!
Quality content 👌
Okay, so long story short, I’ve decided to that I want to be a psychiatrist, but I’m not sure what the steps are from my bachelors. I’m two years out from my undergrad in psychology. What would you recommend as my next steps to get me where you are?
Aeritecn I do, actively.
Hi Juliet. Please ignore Aeritecn, clearly this is more about him than you. To answer your question, to be a psychiatric you need to attend 4 years of medical school as well as an additional 3 years of psychiatry residency. You should start by googling medical school requirements. The general pre-requisites include a year of biology, a year of inorganic chemistry, a year of organic chemistry, a year of physics, a year of math, and the rest will be covered by your psych degree including some of the math (e.g. statistics) and behavioral sciences. You can complete these courses at a community college, as part of a post bach program, or maybe you’ve already completed them. Once you finish those courses, the next step would be to start studying for the MCAT, which is about a 7-hour long test covering all the topics you’ll learn from your pre req classes. There’s a lot to be done, and it’s definitely not an easy path, but if you’re genuinely interested, I say it’s never too late to look into it! Feel free to email me at snajary94@gmail.com if you have any further questions!
this makes me wanna be a psychiatrist even more 😭 but unfortunately i think i'm just not cut out for the schooling
Can you be a psychiatrist if you have problems yourself? Like depression or anxiety
Yes! I’m a psychiatrist with both :) I find I can relate better to my patients. Thankfully my symptoms are not severe enough to interfere with my work. But I was still nervous about it- and I’m glad I did it!
@Spotek um...not necessarily.
@Targetta you can't both deny the existence of mental illness and say that psychiatrists suffer from mental illness . Choose one
@Targetta choose one!
@Targetta you sound like a broken record and are getting side tracked , i just pointed out the inconsistency in your argument . Which is it do psychiatrist have mental illness or do they not?

Hey Kevin, do you work with psychologists? Is their work day similar to yours?
Most psychiatry residency is based on med management with some component of behavior therapy. Most of the behavior therapy is referred to psychologists
Great video!

I find psychiatry fascinating, but I don’t think I would be able to help people with mental illness without feeling really sad. Especially the patients who don’t get better. 😢
I have an open door policy in the ward you can talk to me whenever you want
I wish I can become a Psychiatrist but my ass wouldn't get past medical school :(
Thanks for sharing this mate!
U will do all right...it's like digestion..as long as u put in boiled food..well heated... symbolically speaking..
A guy in Manipal told me this...
I think a psych has to see if they r chill...if no chill maybe take a break...
But it will hard for patients....
wow psych sounds like an awesome specialty too!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha another bodoh gila 😂😂😂😂😂
is your apartment rent funded by the residency programs ? I know 30k-50k will NOT pay for rent, student loans and a living in San Francisco!
Great question I’ll ask Dr. Kass to weigh in!
I think I just found my career plan! In undergrad right now confused about life and what I want to do😅
I am just 15 and my brain wants me to become a cardiologist but my heart says psychiatrist, I am confused 😵❤.
His eyes are beautiful!
Love it and thinking of people's talking to the god and treating them not to demotivate them us a very hard ,tough job
I wanted to be a physiatrist but the extensive schooling which could be up to 12+ years I was like hell nah
