Become a psychiatrist

I’ve gotten involved in more than my share of psychiatry starting from age 12…somewhere along the line I became obsessed with it and before I knew it, I knew this was what I wanted to do. Although I still have no degree I come in contact with mentally ill people on a daily basis through my school. It hurts me so much so see people struggling through things that most of us take for granted, like being able to study without hearing voices or being able to wash our hands without repeating the action hunreds of times only to wonder if they are still clean. Yet I find it so amazing when I see people overcome these struggles and do things that at one time was not imaginable to them, like seeing a boy with dyslexia read and enjoy his first book or a girl who was once suicidal anounce that she truely loves life and sees meaning in everyday. I give these people my highest respect and I want to help them in any way I can.
