Forgot to mention salary! Average compensation in 2020 was $280k, up from $260k last year, putting them in the lower third of specialties by compensation.

Most of us who didn't get any help, we want to be a psychiatrist to help others. So no one has to go through what we went through

Can we get a headcount of all the viewers that’s been waiting for this one 🖐🏽

I've been waiting for this one and this just confirms that I want to become a psychiatrist. I have depression and social anxiety and generalized anxiety and ADD so a good work life balance is extremely necessary for me. I've been interested in psychology since I was about 11 and I love digging deep into peoples thoughts and feelings. Small talk is lame, I wanna know how someone feels and what I can do to help

Finishing my psych residency next month. Can't disagree with anything here. I personally have no regrets at all; I love being a psychiatrist, and you really feel like you're accomplishing something when you see patients get better or even just express their appreciation that someone is willing to listen to them.

Definitely not for everyone, but for those who thrive on it, I don't think there's ever been a better time to get into the field. Work/life balance was excellent in residency; most hours I worked in a week was 62 (after medicine months of intern year), and that was during a rare two-call week. My hours per week during PGY-4 has never exceeded 45. The work rarely becomes boring; as the video suggests, you can see "depression" a hundred times and approach it a hundred different ways. Some diagnoses and situations can be frustrating, but that's hardly unique to psychiatry, and one difference in our field is that you're pretty consistently leaving work by 5 pm and have most of your weekends to yourself to decompress.

As for the job prospects...I'm *still* getting at least 5 e-mails/phone calls a day from recruiters. The salary has been steadily climbing as demand increases and social stigma falls away. I won't showboat my "fresh out of residency" salary, but I'll be getting paid a pretty bonkers amount for an 8-5 no-call job where I primarily *teach* psychiatry to FM and IM residents. That's where the demand has landed us these days.

Great field; check it out.

I want to be a psychiatrist for many years so I hope my dreams will come true soon 🤩 (this year I’m applying for medicine)

I’m diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ptsd. I see a psychiatrist 1-3 times every month to treat these issues yet Instead of focusing on how to treat my own issues, I’m focusing on how I can become a psychiatrist to help others. Thank you for this video and putting it into perspective.

I was waiting for this 7 months ago when I was making my decision but here I am as a psychiatric resident and I can thankfully say I am really happy with my decision ☺️

Psychiatry deserves more respect. It is one of the least respected medical specialties and for no good reason. Mental illness affects around 51 million people in the United States alone. Why do we choose to neglect mental health? Is the brain and its maintenance not important? Psychiatry has come along way since its barbaric beginnings and we know much more about psychopathology than we once did. Many studies have been done. To prove my point, there was this study done in 2017; the largest MRI study to date. For the life of me, I do not recall the exact amount of subjects who participated but it was well over 1, 000. Most of the subjects had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and, across these individuals, a pattern not otherwise seen within the subjects who do not suffer from the disorder. Diminished gray matter in both the frontal and temporal regions in the brain. Gray matter is directly associated with inhibition and emotional regulation. As technology continues to evolve, I have no doubt there will come a test(s) at some point that will be able to concretely confirm many different forms of psychiatric conditions. Psychotropic medication has its applications; there are many who cannot function without them, this is a given, though there are those (depending on the condition) who can be treated without. The moment we acknowledge this, we will come to see that people are much more than the ineligible scribblings on an Rx pad..more than a dollar to be made. I want to become a psychiatrist and I have no shame in admitting this. Respect psychiatry!

Can people watch this and stop confusing psychologists and psychiatrists once and for all 😭

I'm an undergraduate music major, and I recently decided to change my major from cello performance to premedical studies. I want to be a psychiatrist because I have just arrived at the end of a six-year battle with OCD, major depressive disorder, anxiety, and debilitating ADHD, and I finally feel like I can function and succeed in life. I could not be more grateful to the psychiatrist and psychologists who have helped me arrive at where I am today, and I want to do what they're doing. I'm scared but excited to open up a new chapter in my life.

I love learning about the human mind and how it works. So much so that as a writer and artist I always find a way to wiggle in some psychological reasonings for why the characters act the way they do.
I really want to pursue this field but I currently have horrible work habits.

zooer

Great job flexibility, great work hours, talk in depth with people . I’m sold, now to learn good study habits and time management . I know what my purpose is now :) Now for the grit !

Could you please make *, , So you want to be a pathologist?”* ✨

Keep in mind that 280k salary is an average including many part-time psychiatrists. You can make A LOT more than that if you work a hefty full time schedule and are in an inpatient setting as a independent physician (non-hospital employed)

YES‼️ ME AND MY ARMY HAVE FINALLY ACHIEVED VICTORY😤✊🏽 this is why you never give up💯 Thank you for posting this video😁

(Edit)
This video has really helped me decide on what I wanna do with psychiatry. I was kinda of struggling to cope with the idea of having so much schooling compared to the normal person, but everything else seems great. From the work I’ll be doing, to the hours, and they pay. All in all, I think it’ll be worth it for me

fred

i’ve always debated being a psychiatrist, and this definitely sealed my decision! it was very helpful and i have been looking forward to it
