What is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, or hearing "voices." Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an M.D. or D.O.) who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems.

What are the qualities of a Psychiatrist?

Psychiatrists play a crucial role in the mental well-being of a mentally ill person. Most of the people do not even know if they are mentally ill. This is when psychiatry comes into play when there is no problem associated with the physical aspect of a human being. It is important not only to understand that the illness associated is mental but also to identify the exact nature of the mental illness. A good psychiatrist must also be comfortable to talk with and support all the information needs of patients. The qualities of a good psychiatrist depend on various factors and how well he treats and understands his patients.:

  • Observant
  • Analytical
  • Empathetic
  • Knowledgeable
  • Professional

What are the challenges of being a Psychiatrist?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who don't always get to work for normal working hours. They work day and night, even at weekends and sometimes cannot even afford holidays, especially when they are new into this practice. Being a doctor, a psychiatrist needs to keep studying, do plenty of researches, and be updated with the latest discovery in medical sciences even after becoming a doctor so that he/she can provide the latest treatment to the patients. This requires endless dedication, hard work, and can be extremely stressful. It is difficult to establish a work-life balance in the medical professions. Most of the people have too many misconceptions about this profession which compell society to look down on the conditions that a psychiatrist attempts to treat. The mentally ill people are considered as a taboo in the society due to which many sufferers fear in seeking treatment for mental illness.
