Welcome to another episode of Why I Didn’t… the mostly useless series where I tell you why I did NOT pursue a specific specialty. In this episode, I cover psychiatry.🧠 Subscribe to the channel to participate in polls about which specialty I’ll cover next.
Psychiatry may not be for everyone, but for the right person, it can be a deeply fulfilling and impactful career. It’s an excellent choice for those with a passion for mental health, comfort with ambiguity, and an empathetic approach to patient care. However, potential psychiatrists should consider the emotional toll of psychiatry, the lack of procedures, and the slower pace of the field.
