Psychiatrist

Every time anyone ever says anything goofy, the other person always says something like "You need to see a shrink, or do you need a ride to Green leaf?" These are all a stereotype of psychiatrists and their patients. But the truth is, this is a very mentally and emotionally beneficial career. Come on, and let's see if this is the job for you.

A psychiatrist is basically a physician for the human mind. A lot of people are born with mental disorders that may make them depressed, stressed, or even crazy. A psychiatrists job is to help them fix their problems and keep them under control. They might use medication, surgery or even counseling sessions. Psychiatrists work basically in the process of analysis. They break the persons case into parts, examining it to find the root to the problem. This lets them go into the ,major cause of these feelings that may hurt the patient. They also may work in a lab researching these diseases to make more medicines, and try to find the causes of these mental illnesses. They could work in a hospital to help people who have been through traumatizing experiences. They talk to them so they can work them through it to prevent any further psychological damage. You might even work in a private practice. This is how most psychiatrists work. This is were they work in small clinics were they do most of their counseling. They may also prescribe small doses of medications like Prozac, Luvox, or Ritalin. These medicines help balance things in the brain that cause these illnesses. The third kind of employment is to work in an institution. This would be in a place like green leaf, or maybe a rehabilitation center.

To be a psychiatrist, you must have a very good education. This requires a post-graduate degree in psychiatry, psychology, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and biology. After you have gone through his extensive training, you can start.
