Medical Careers : How to Become a Psychiatrist

[Ms2313Princess]

Do u have to get a major in biology or chemistry or any other science course to be accepted in medical school?

[chescaa8i8]

Could you take 4 years of psychology and then 4 years of medicine to become a psychiastrist?

[JohnnyJohnW]

You need a Ph.D in candies.

[roberth214]

@wttbsh08 are you stupid? His comment says 4 year degree + 4 years med school + 2 to 4 years of specialization/residency...4+4­+2 = 10, 4+4+4 = 12...I'm pretty sure his math is fine. Many places in North America do not require fellowship. HIS MATH was right, I'm not saying residency is as low as 2 years, but his math was correct you retard.

[JorgeInternacional]

I am a psychiatrist, which means I went through medical school and can therefore prescribe medications. I also had training in psychotherapy, therefore I can also provide therapy. It took me 4 years of a major in biology, 4 years of medical school, 4 years of psychiatry residency, and an extra year for a sub specialty/fellowship. Years of education are measured as 12 years from 1st to senior year PLUS all other years of education after graduation after high-school.

[xOEHLALA]

@JorgeInternacional Was it worth it? Do you like your job? Don't you have huge university debts now or does your job pay really well?

[JorgeInternacional]

@xOEHLALA It is totally worth it, at least for me. It depends on where you will be working as a psychiatrist. If you're gonna work in an academic setting (teaching hospital) the pay will be way less than if in a private hospital or private practice. I got a big student loan but I can tell you every month, after paying all my debts/mortgage/car, etc I still keep about 50% of my paycheck. It does pay well, don't be discouraged and check average salaries in your state and don't accept just any pay

[Raizo1988]

@JorgeInternacional

Your a Psychiatrist? What is the likelyhood of a person with average math skills successfully making it to medical school and onward to becoming a Psychiatrist?

[JorgeInternacional]

@Raizo1988 Yes I am. I don't think you need to be "above average" in Math to gecome a successful psychiatrist. Perhaps math knowledge would help you for the MCAT, but it's definitely NOT required at all... I would say, focus a lot on Anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology during college...it will pay off at Med School.

[JurisArcane]

@wttbsh08

Depending of course on where you go to school, um, your residency is part of your specialization. If you are spending 4 years of residency AND 1-2 years in fellowship, AND 4 years in medical school, and you aren't a neurosurgeon, you've messed up somewhere lol

[MermaidsAreNice]

Okay, but what if you've messed up and received a Bachelor's in a totally unrelated field without the science prerequisites he mentioned? Do you have to go back and get another Bachelor's? Or can you hope over to your local community college and take those classes?

[TheFriendlyEngineer]

Psychiatry is pure quackery and pseudoscience.They should be jailed for fraud.The amount of antidepressants they prescribe that have killed thousands of people is inexcusable.They are just drug pushers/dealers and the DSM-IV handbook is used to manipulate poor unsuspected gullible victims/patients into their voodoo.This is the height of fraud.

[exbronco1980]

@TheFriendlyEngineer you are so right.

[JorgeInternacional]

@TheFriendlyEngineer You'd be surprised how many people I've save from committing suicide by providing medication and counseling. I've helped many people live healthy and functional lives by treating them from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and much more. I'm glad I can help these people get better!

[Bunnehsayroar]

i want to be one cause they make alot of money this person is proof he wears a fancy suit

[angiierous]

Psychiatrists say girls tend to marry men like their fathers. That is probably the reason mothers cry at weddings!

[gta4king1234]

Hannibal Lecter inspired me to want to be a Psychiatrist. :)

[exbronco1980]

in almost all other fields of medicine, there is a harsher penalty for failure than in psychiatry. and the other fields are more demanding. therefore, usually the worst drs go into psychiatry. there's no medical test in psychiatry, no procedures, rarely a scan and no surgery. not much risk.

[SagaciousNJ]

The sad thing is that many of the people here hating on Psychiatry may well have legitimate grievances.

The Ironic thing is that their vehemence makes them seem mentally unbalanced.

[AcesPsyched]

I wonder if the haters on here are Scientologists...

[scottyb453]

@AcesPsyched So you have to be Scientologist to hate on psychiatry? What about someone who has been damaged by them like myself. What about someone who cares about people. Psychiatry is a joke and is being exposed as the fraud that is is. From electroshock, lobotomy and atypical anti-psychotics, they are masters at giving brain damage. They are an arm of the pharmaceutical companies and in denial about it. Anyone who investigates psychiatry doesn't see medicine, but rather criminality.

[SirDrako12xx]

My goal is to become a Psychiatrist. The salary is 150,000 per year, I believe.

[samgibo]

@SirDrako12xx future drug dealer

[skiier4384]

I think we can first push through that if you are a psychiatrist that you must be imprisoned. If we can't do that, we should strip involuntary committment and electroshock therapy from them. We can also ban psychiatrists from being able to invest in pharmeceutical companies. Then perhaps a 50 disorder cap on the DSM-IV. They can add new things, but need to take out a previous disorder first. Then perhaps and ethics course once every five years that's mandatory.

[skiier4384]

In order to become a psychiatrist, you must have no soul and exhibit anti-social tendencies. The real issue is how to get *rid* of the psychiatrist. America, in order to become stronger and return to its strong nationalistic roots, needs to find an ultimate solution to these subhumans. No excuse. Anything else is unreasonable and falls short of truly saving America.

[TheAdultChild101]

@reallyurstupid Well, since it is obvious you can't even spell or utilize the english language, I'm not even sure how to responde. And trust me, I don't know how to answer you, either.

[roaming85]

Actually, @ the top post. Its 4 year degree + 4 years medical school + 4 years residency +1-2 years fellowship. 12-14 years

[RazziNDarkside]

Fuck Psychiatrists

[AcesPsyched]

@RazziNDarkside

You're ridiculous, just like all of the haters! Maybe you guys need a psychiatrist!

[RazziNDarkside]

@AcesPsyched I have....it's all bullshit

[TaimaDjinn]

You can tell this guy is just having so much trouble going over this pseudoscientific course of study (the guy works in Haemotology and Oncology for fuck's sake).

[anonymous1336]

why do you need chemistry ?

[TheAdultChild101]

I have heard becomming a Psychiatrist is fundamentally the bottom of the barrel as far as utilizing a Medical Degree.

[LoveTheCity123]

I don't understand why you have to go to " med school " ... Psychiatrist just listen to your problems and explain things to do .. They aren't like nurses, who are REAL doctors that subscribe you to medication ..

[DancingMonkey12]

@LoveTheCity123 Psychiatrists deal with medical conditions related to the brain, and prescribe medicine. What you described is a therapist.

[iMaKeUsHoOk]

@DancingMonkey12 Psychiatrists also provide therapy, though I think it's becoming less popular these days.

[sexyrick95]

This sounds rllly hard, im only in 9th grade and my grades are definitely not well, but this is what i want to do.

[iMaKeUsHoOk]

@sexyrick95 Good luck, start disciplining yourself to study harder, and in time, you'll accomplish it.

[heartlessvietboy]

YOU GUYS ARENT LISTENING!! STOP DRUGGING PEOPLE UP WHEN THEY DONT' NEED IT!!!

[spidacal32]

@Antipsychiatry123 They are medical doctors. I fail to understand why psychiatrists take such a bad rap. Yes, psychiatry is a bit more subjective than many fields of medicine, yet it is much more evidence-based than a field like psychology. I know of many people who have experienced substantial improvements in quality of life as a result of psychiatric practice. I'm not bashing your views, I just want to know, as a premed student, why you are so against psychiatry as a practice.

[Antipsychiatry123]

@spidacal32

"I fail to see why psychiatrists take such a bad rap"

Then you need to research psychiatry and how actual science works a little more.

"I know of many people who have experienced substantial improvements"

Great. But that's not the definition of science. I know of several people who are helped by buddhism. Your comment couldn't be more irrelevant.

[spidacal32]

@Antipsychiatry123 So you're saying that there is no scientific basis upon psychiatric medicine? SSRI's really don't prevent the reabsorbtion of seratonin into the presynaptic cell? That's really interesting because I'm pretty sure that there is a sound base of knowlege supporting psychiatry. Judging by your profile name, I'm guessing that either you or someone close to you did not benefit significantly from pscyhiatric treatment, but that is inconsequential as compared to the larger picture.

[Antipsychiatry123]

@spidacal32

Great, now saying big words to confuse your opponent is what constitutes science. But actual science isn't about that. Actual science is about finding *explanations* to natural phenomena. But "I'm sad" isn't an explanation. Lacking serotonin in the brain isn't an explanation. These are observations. Immediately concluding an illness is the cause is called pseudoscience.

[Antipsychiatry123]

@spidacal32

"I'm guessing either you or someone close to you did not benefit"

God damn, the irony is thick. Yes, well no one would have "not benefited" if psychiatry was science. You can pull that card, "Well, someone got hurt". Notice you can't do that with prostate cancer. No doctor will say, "You have prostate cancer" for four years in the absence of evidence.

[Antipsychiatry123]

@spidacal32

So using medicine is based on statistics and chemistry. The medicine, isn't what I'm interested in. What I'm interested in is that every patient who walks into a clinic is labeled as ill with no objective tests to substantiate such claims. It's interesting how you think it's an argument. But being able to test and falsify claims is the definition of science. These are conveniently lacking in psychiatry for every "mental illness" so by definition it's not science.

[iMaKeUsHoOk]

@spidacal32 "yet it is much more evidence-based than a field like psychology"

Coming from a psychology background, I have to say that this statement is not really accurate. Both sciences share therapeutic approaches (some of which I find to be pseudoscientific, like Freudian theory), and both sciences use biology (like biopsychology/neuroscience) to understand behavior/disorders/etc. Psychiatrists have the advantage of medicine, but both must use the scientific approach to investigate claims

[iMaKeUsHoOk]

@spidacal32 Actually, I take back what I said last. There are some baseless theories like Freudian theory, feminist theory, african-american theory, etc. that make therapy as a whole (by psychologists AND by psychiatrists) pseudoscientific. However, at least one therapeutic approach (CB theory) is backed with empirical evidence. There are some parts of psychology that are strictly biology or biochemistry. These are much more evidence-based than the therapeutic approaches.

[StfuMofozz]

my brain hurts

[DJCrabCake]

"Didactic instruction" is redundant. 1:26

[stayjit1]

Psychatrists want to take over the world. L. Ron Hubbard said so. Tom Cruise agrees. Hail Xenu !

[gabymarshy]

@Antipsychiatry123 Ahh i see what you mean. Yes and it's understandable. That's why Ive been contemplating between just becoming a psychologist or psychiatrist.

[Rocafile]

I despise this profession

[madbandicooot]

I could never be a psychiatrist, from my own experience with psychiatry over 6 years...Im totally against it from the suffering it's caused me .

[AnagramISP]

You're all just failed physicians

ADMIT IT

[salmaaO1x3]

@AnagramISP LMAO loser

[AnagramISP]

How to Become a Psychiatrist?

Firstly, make sure that you are totally incompetent as a physician lmao

[salmaaO1x3]

@AnagramISP hahaha

[eBiology]

If psychiatry is such a fraud and so dangerous, why does almost every hospital have a psychiatric wing, why are there hundreds of thousands of psychiatrists helping people around the world, and why are the neurosciences one of the fastest growing fields this modern day? In contrast to Scientology, which has a decreasing population, being shut down in almost every country, and having the majority of its' leaders in prison? Some of these people I swear =/

[dnanyer01]

does the Canada have the same steps on how to become a psychiatrist like yours? thank you

[TheKale808]

so what it takes like 17 years to be a psychiatrist? if it is thats bullshit

[JurisArcane]

@TheKale808

Can you not count? 4 year degree + 4 years medical school + 2-4 for specialization. That's 10 - 12 years, not 17. I wouldn't try it if I were you though. It's obvious simple math is kicking your ass. You wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell at Medical School.

[GZxModzz]

@JurisArcane I don't think I would try it if I were you either, if you have to use someone elses error, and correct them in a very ignorant way, your clearly not fit for being a MD.

[JurisArcane]

@GZxModzz

Oh, I shouldn't be an MD, because I violated your subjective opinion on the proper standards for correcting someone?

My apologies great one, but I think you're needed back up in Heaven.

[Deimos69r]

@JurisArcane you made my day.

[TaylorRhoat95]

@JurisArcane Can you not count? 4 year degree + 8 years of medical school (4 years pre-med, 4 years of actual medical school) + 1 year of Medical Doctor internship + 4-5 years psychiatry residency + 2 - 3 years for psychiatry fellowship (Which fellowship is totally optional) so in the end you will be looking at 17 - 18 years or 19 - 20 or so years IF you include the fellowship.

[HipsterKiller]

the whole field is bullshit

you can label people what you want in the name of medicine

but people are way more complex than your arrogant generalizations could even begin explain.

[JurisArcane]

@HipsterKiller

Right. Try telling that to a man who eats his own flesh and feces because the voices in his head tell him too. If you think you can cure that without drugs/chemical therapy, you live in Neverland. The only generalization here is yours, regarding psychiatry. It's a not a perfect field, no field is. But if we were to close all psychiatric clinics and fire every psychiatrist tomorrow, it wouldn't be long before you realized what a stupid opinion yours is.

[iMaKeUsHoOk]

@JurisArcane Are you a psychiatrist? Just out of curiosity. I was wondering a bit about the field.

[JurisArcane]

@iMaKeUsHoOk

Premedical currently. I could answer some questions about academics. As for the field, you'd probably do better to speak with a practicing psychiatrist.

[misao1414]

i'd like to specialize in psychiatry after medicine.

[AdamAdidas909]

@misao1414

You saddo

[communitychannel1fan]

@AdamAdidas909

Not True I went to see one a whie back.

She was so nicem and helped me a lot.

This guy is so FAKE.

[hoatzin9]

man this guy is a fake...if u wana see real psychology check out my vid dr ray

[AdamAdidas909]

The babbling fool forgot to add; Avoid Psychiatrists at all costs,because they lie and deceive people and can't give you any straight answers.

How they are considered to be medical doctors is beyond me,because they have no means of medically testing for any of their so called diagnosis of 'mental disorders'

[TheChrisx95x]

Prejudice.

[frankfurterable]

i thought it was only 1 year of chem/bio... any info?

[exbronco1980]

@TuRdSandwitch18 psychiatry is bullshit. i wish it would go away in a few years, but i don't think it will. :(

[TuRdSandwitch18]

well with people like me around it's more likely lol i've already converted a few psychiatrists personally, plus with more effective things like nlp around it makes therapy redundant

[TwistedBennett]

Skank, you have been coming to this video for months. Just complaining to a audience, who does not care in what you think! I was skimming these comments looking for different ideas of what they thought of Psychiatrist. And, noticed you. And, really are a "Turd Sandwich".

[TwistedBennett]

@Turdsandwitch18

[TuRdSandwitch18]

well clearly u do care or u wud not hav commented, im just commenting on the video and im not complaining im actually telling the truth! sorry if u dont wanna hear that

[biporio]

Psychiatry prescribes lethal drugs for mental illness they can't prove scientifically it exists. Period. Everything else is just talking.

[jimdandy2499]

@biporio - Uh, how about the mapping of human brains that have been done, and the receptors and transmittors that have been found. Because of those discoveries certain chemicals are found to be out of balance in the brains of those with a mental illness. It was proved a while ago.

[biporio]

@jimdandy2499 That's big news to me. Most psychiatrists when I ask for some kind of proof tell me to shut the hell up, 'cause they have a degree I don't.

Can you tell me where can I find this information? Even on drug reports they don't state that they know the causes. Mostty they say "seems to be" "it's assumed" "relates to", but no categorically states "this is the cause".

[jimdandy2499]

There's actually a book written about the history of mental illness and the discovery of all this. It's called Molecules of the Mind by Jon Franklin. It's an excellent and informative read.

They may have put that on the drug reports for liabilty reasons. That way if for some reason the drugs don't work, then the companies can say that they never directly stated the medicine would cure you. I'm not sure about that, but that's my best guess.

[biporio]

@jimdandy2499 Glad to have objective answers about this, thank you (you are probably the first). But what still bothers me is why dsm describes subject behaviors to detect mental illness? Some others doctors do similar superficial exams to detect some diseases (like concluding it's a virosis by cough, fever and sore all over the body), but prescribe drugs with heavy collateral effects it's not common without specific biological exams.

Again, thanks for the healthy chat. I tried that before.

[jimdandy2499]

No problem. They use subject behaviors because there is no simple test that can be done yet. We know what causes mental illness, but doctors aren't going to stick a tracer in someones head to find out if they have depression. A simple test, such as a blood test, for mental illness is still in the works. Right now all physchiatrists have to go on is behaviors. We know what causes a mental illness, but because it's in the brain it can be difficult to create a test for.

[biporio]

@jimdandy2499 Well, if, although they know the causes, what they use to diagnose a illness are only subjective behavior analysis (sometimes based by opinion of their friends), then it's not science. What is even more aggravating is prescribe heavy drugs only based what he consider wrong behavior.

As I said before, most conventional doctors sometimes are subjective and superficial, but they don't diagnose serious diseases or prescribe heavy drugs without detailed exams.

[jimdandy2499]

When someone is phsyically sick many times a doctor won't do any sort of test, they see a person cough, and sneeze along with a litany of other symptoms and deduce a cold. Now granted that is a much smaller thing than a mental illness, but many doctors prescribe medicine for phsyical illness w/out doing any tests.

Continued...

[jimdandy2499]

Second, mental illness is not a virus. Just because we know the cause doesn't mean that we can build a simple test right away. You can't biopsy a brain, and at the moment there's nothing similar to a blood test that can be done. Because a mental illness is a chemical imbalance of the brain it's very difficult to find an easy, simple test that works for each person.

[biporio]

@jimdandy2499 I found the book you mentioned to me at Amazon. The didn't have a cover for it and there is only 4 reviews so far. Sounds weird to me everybody would like to take a look be so obscure.

[jimdandy2499]

Do you mean it's weird that not many people have read the book? The sentence just seemed worded a bit odd to me so I need a little clarification.

[exbronco1980]

i think if someone makes a claim, it is their responsibility to prove it. if you see a psychiatrist who makes a claim but won't prove it, i'd suggest u stop seeing that person. i think most psychiatrists are wastes of time.

[exbronco1980]

@jimdandy2499 when i asked my psychiatrist if there was some kind of test they could do that would measure my chemical imbalance, he said there was no such test. i've seen many different psychiatrists over the years. in fact, i'm seeing one now. never has anyone done a test that proved i had a chemical imbalance. if there is such a test, why do u think it has never been done on me?

[jimdandy2499]

I answered the same question with biporio.

[dstp91]

@jimdandy2499 everything is balanced

[spencerdev91]

Why do so many people here have negative views about psychiatrists? It almost seems like they need to see them the most!

[exbronco1980]

@spencerdev91 i have seen them. i have seen many psychiatrists in the past 10 years.

[spencerdev91]

@exbronco1980 Ever hear of SPECT and PET scans? Psychiatrists can use them but nearly all of them don't. Daniel Amen for example is a psychiatrist who uses these scans and can help determine appropriate treatment which isn't always medication btw. My question to you is can you prove there isn't a brain chemical imbalance?

[exbronco1980]

@spencerdev91 i don't think there is proof one way or the other.

[exbronco1980]

it's funny, a psychiatrist goes through all that education and training, yet they still can't do tests (like a blood test) to prove that there is a brain chemical imbalance, and if so, what kind of imbalance it is.

[mrboylez]

As a matter of fact, things like that have been practiced and DOCUMENTED for years you silly insignifi CUUNT. little fuck. I talk to angel's as well. I also happen to be an exorcist, and part of a circle of 7. When you say you have experience, I will put the lie to that. You have no idea what you are talking about. Your anger has completely blinded you, and your self pity and rage will only drag others into the ground. I would be glad to rid the world of a demon like you.

[JavaCrammer]

What's funny is that anyone that's looking this up most likely has some type of mental disorder... Most psychiatrists (74% according to a national survey) have Bipolar Disorder.

[mrboylez]

you are an ignorant fool. A psychiatrist helped me to regain my piece of mind, and my sanity.

[MyWildcatNews]

:51

[Jtrev57]

Okay you stereotype a milions of people who are psychiatrist just because you had 1 bad experience? That's a lot of arrogance.

[TuRdSandwitch18]

no that was just ONE example and since all psychiatrists learn exactly the same stuff at university it seems like a fairly rational generalization, not all of them might b totally horrible but all of them, like i sed, cannot help anyone with any problem reliably. . .

[Jtrev57]

.... a Psychiatrist is a doctor...... (embarrassing)

[Jtrev57]

The fact that you have no PhD is irrelevant. Your credibility is weak to me because you are just another random dude on youtube expressing his complaints about the world and talking about stuff like he's had all the experience in the world. And yes I'm reading books and I will continue to be reading books. And judging from your spelling, your lack of vocabulary, and the obvious need for you to use foul language maybe you should do some more reading yourself.

[Jtrev57]

Yes because I know you and your credibility is so high, mean you're a random dude commenting on youtube so I should definitely listen to you...

[FightingPrideHuman]

these fools dont know anything about people if anyone has any problems with anything love, politics, or lost souls come see me i will help you if i cant then i will close down my account

[TheWAW09]

You scare me you really do. I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. Considering they are actual medical doctors you are basically saying being a doctor is a pointless job. Are you a scientologist by any chance?

[TuRdSandwitch18]

no im not tom cruise, i didnt say doctors were pointless at all i sed phsychiatrists are. . . got something to say about that?

[TheWAW09]

lol what?

[TheWAW09]

Lol are u high or something? Wtf are u even talking about?

[dvdclapp]

Just so everyone knows, this guy is completely wrong.

1) A 3.5 GPA is what most med schools consider to be competitive.

2) He also didn't mention any undergrad counseling courses that you may want to consider taking.

3) The med school prerequisites are 1 (not 2) year of biology, 1 year of general chemistry, 1 year of organic chemistry, calculus 1 and 2 (or calc 1 and a generally strong foundation in math, such as a minor in it), and physics 1 and 2. Don't listen to this tool.

[TuRdSandwitch18]

how to b a phychiatrist : patronize and talk down to ur clients, buy a suit and a clipboard and remember to never under any circumstances help the patient

[Jtrev57]

Wow... such ignorance.

[anadaniellemia]

King, I agree. I am also studying to be a psychiatrist for identical reasons. We will be "the black sheep" of what they are known for. Glad to know there are people out there on the same page.

[king0fsp0rkz]

I'm studying to be a Psychiatrist... And the reason I chose to do this is because I am fascinated with the way the mind functions. Secondly, because I look around and I see so many people being diagnosed with mental disorders... I don't understand why this has become an epidemic. I want to contribute in the reducing these numbers. I have hope that it is just corruption within the field, and people really aren't sick. I want to help those who really need it. So.. please don't crucify all of us.

[eBiology]

@king0fsp0rkz I wish you the best in your endeavors. I once wanted to become a psychiatrist, but I decided that I prefer to specialize in orthopedic surgery. To this day, however, psychiatry still fascinates me just as much as you.

[iMaKeUsHoOk]

@eBiology Why don't you get a Master's or PhD in psychology, taking part-time classes? If your heart's into it, that is. Specialize more in research, neuroscience, or biological psychology. There's so much overlap between the two fields, and being you have an MD, you'll be ahead of the game compared to both psychologists and psychiatrists :).

[eBiology]

@iMaKeUsHoOk I want to specialize in orthopedic surgery (specifically hand surgery or ORIF) to be honest as it's more hands on, but psychiatry peaked my interest for a long time and I would recommend the field to anyone who prefers a medical career that deals a lot with being caring, compassionate and most of all willing to help someone who is suffering =)

[Drummin4justice]

@king0fsp0rkz  Thank you! someone had to say it!

[agt334]

@king0fsp0rkz Don't you want to become a REAL doctor ?

[davelevin777]

Smart punk in a suit.

Sits and collects money per hour!

The sicker you are, the more he collects!

When you start "visiting" Mr. Shrink, he will convince you to go more often... You will have to go as often as he wants and pay him as much as he wants.

All these shrinks are interested in is money.

Patients have to be sick forever and go to them for as many years as they resits in order to fill them up with cash.

The interest of a shrink is to lengthen the period of treatment and make much cash!

[dmanagua]

Man, psych's get such a bad rap. When I was in residency (neurology), I thought psych residents were very "off." Looking back during med school, I could never, ever tell if psychiatrists were "off" because of being psychiatrists, or they were "off" to start with and gravitated toward psychiatry (or psychology). Thoughts!?!

[journey2findme]

3.7 wth lol okay well right now I have a 3.45 and I thought that was okay :( I go to

emory now so I'll prob. end up staying here for medical school... if they retake me lol

[twilightxxxforever]

people you can make hella bank with this job and not all psyciatrists are bad.

[secretangels091]

OMG !!!! LMAO i didnt knw so manny ppl didn't lyk Psychiatrist........ :P

[poeticone4ever]

psychiatry is a bad dickhead form of medicine.

[poeticone4ever]

"hi,heres how to become a psychiatrist,get degree,get patients,drug them up to make them happy so I can collect your $200 an hour,if you can't pay or have insurance,we don't want you here nor do we give a rats ass.Also,to be a psychiatrist,get invovled in the False Memory Syndrom movement so when a patient comes in,tells u they remember abuse,you can tell them it didn't happen,is one of our 3 common diagn,schizo,effective or bipolar,you're crazy,making up memories."

Fuck u psyche doc quacks!

[gabymarshy]

Why does everyone hate psychiatrists? Not everyone of them is trying to kill you.

[MikeySmiley21]

I don't like psychiatrists. I think they are "pill-pushers".

Psychiatrists do not intend to cause deliberate harm to their patients but many of them do indirect damage nonetheless.

Psychology is like taking a broken arm, bandaging it up, and letting it heal over a period of time....

Psychiatry is similar to someone merely glancing at the arm and prescribing Hydrocodone.

Most perceive Psychiatry as nothing but a "quick fix".

[marcoze]

its all in the doctor and how he/she treats their patients.

I do agree that most of them are pill pushers. I was forced to see many many when i was a child and i was perscribed many meds that did nothing but harm to my system.

I personally hate these doctors.......well at least i did.

Now I am thinking about becoming one myself and treating people the way they should be, not just med up and tossed about

[hokagealex]

would you say the same about physicians you idiot because the prescribe drugs too infact thats their main duty

[Cruelhazard]

So much hatred towards psychiatry in general. I once visited a psychiatrist, and she accidentally overdosed me on lithium. Yet, she still had a medical doctors degree. Quite baffling, even if I'm interested in the subject, though it garners too much hate for me to consider it.

[tomken8dy]

A psychiatrist is usually an MD who is too lazy, incompetent or stupid to practice real medicine.

Be honest.

Psychiatry is a pseudo science that specializes in pushing dangerous cytotoxic drugs on vulnerable human beings to make easy money.

Google Dr. Peter Breggin.

Psychiatry offers much insight into the blind gullibility of many. Psychiatry is little more than a business; that is, a way to make an easy profit.

rhinoceros9, I think I could say that it is the majority of the people in the US and abroad who are the actual bipolars because they made stupid financial decisions that destroyed the world economy, and someone like me, knew better the whole time. I even told the banks back in 2007 that it was unethical to offer Adjustable Rate Mortgages and they tried to talk me into one. So I am definitely in the minority, and I am proud of my individuality.

Furthermore, I am NOT depressed.

I am full of life, with goals to accomplish and a full time job on top of that. You on the other hand haven't even seem to have succeeded yet if you are still searching for a career. I already have my career plus several others and many hobbies on top of all that.

They are alot like Ted Bundy--acting like they are caring and will help and they are nice, then when you go to their office you end up on drugs which cause diabetes, blindness, unbearable migaines and these Bundies enjoy every moment of it or they wouldn't do this to humans.

Then the drug companies claim "Depression causes these migraines, and sleeping problems, so you need some Depression drugs."

i think you need to see a shrink

[torturedbyshrinks]

Maybe you should try some ZYPREXA so you can know what you are talking about before you open up your ignorant mouth and voice your stupid, inexperienced opinion. I don't care what you "THINK", I only care what I KNOW.

[torturedbyshrinks]

Shrinks are in the exact same category of psychopaths as the child rapist murderers, only they get paid to torture people. Some people are so sleazy they will do anything for money. Worse than crack dealers because we have the right to refuse crack, but not the shrinks torture chamber and their poisons.

[torturedbyshrinks]

If you want to work towards a License to drug torture people I will work towards stripping as many licenses away from every shrink who disables and maims their victims. And every last drug pusher shrink I have ever known, has maimed every last patient in some way.

I want to be a psychiatrist and it seems difficult to be one.

[hijabiflower]

[caprisunchikrox4eva]

do u get paid during your residency and your fellowship?

[liamfitch123]

Ya, its just a job. Leading up to a better job.

[torturedbyshrinks]

Yeah, you can become the Devil's best friend on Earth. Maybe the devil won't torture you so much when you end up in Hell if you promise to promote maiming billions of people with psychiatric drugs before the world ends.
