Psychiatrists are Medical Doctors (M.D.'s) and go through the same medical school as any other M.D. plus have the added coursework that a Psychologist has. They are in high demand these days as you can imagine, and in fact, child psychologists are in even higher demand. In our area, people are so desperate to get in to see a child psychiatrist, they have to pay docs who don't even take your insurance.

The part where people say they must be crazy usually relates to the idea that they hear other people's problems all day and feel that they must be driven crazy by hearing them. On the contrary, people who like helping others may feel good by hearing the problems and hearing how they get better after medication and therapy.

Remember too, many psychiatrists simply work with medications and their possible interactions with their patients' other medications rather than really dealing with the everyday "talk therapy".

Parents probably just say this becuase they think you're too young to be able to know and handle what it takes to be a psychiatrist. I agree that it's a lot harder than you think, but I believe that if you really want to be it and you stick to it, you're going to be able to become a psychiatrist as you grow older. If you truly love it and you are right now helping others at this young age, I think that you can be it. Dont listen to what other people say to you; you know yourself the best and you know what you want and can do.

yor famous?dont loose your confidence and if you want to be a psychiatrist be one.

im not exactly sure whats up with that, but im sure if you suck off the right person youll make a great psychiatrist

They say it's crazy because psychiatrists recommend their patients to take drugs and meds to help them further solve their problems. You can switch to counseling like me. I help people out with their problems just like you. That is what I am studying in college and to me, it's better than being a psychiatrist or psychologist.
