Thank you comment icon Hello Micheal, I'm a psychiatrist. You are asking interesting probing questions. I will give what might some to be a flippant answer to you, though I do not intend it this way: Are you a medical student considering specializing in Psychiatry? If so, tell me, and we can delve a little further. But if you are not a medical student yet, then I think that you are getting ahead of yourself. Focus on getting into medical school [if that is what you really want to do] and then there you can ponder your questions as you consider which medical specialty you want to choose. I hope this helps, Perry Perry Zuckerman

Although I don’t have personal experience, my friend, who is a psychiatrist, has shared valuable insights. They emphasized the importance of empathy, collaboration with other healthcare professionals, and the need for a tailored approach to each patient. They also noted the profound resilience patients show in overcoming mental health challenges.
