dave’s Answer

of course it has moral worth as you will be prescribing medication and effecting patients lives!

whatever you do do NOT Overmedicate patients ....too much of that going on and I for one was directly affected by a psychiatrist who did not know what he was doing

the end goal is to get your patients to live as "normal" a life as possible

Its Not ALL about the meds

good luck!

I believe this will be a highly individual answer. Just like in any field in medicine, you will be treating humans with the end goal for them to live with the highest quality of li[fe possible. Similarly, in psychiatry you will be treating the brain and how the disease process impact their lives. You will be faced with the same moral dilemmas as with any other field when other factor come into play, such as cultural, social, family, etc...
The goal is for you to find how the profession you choose gives you satisfaction. Good luck
