Anyone a P.A. in Psychiatry?

Date September 7, 2011

I am looking into getting a masters in P.A. but I would really like to work in a Psychiatry/Psychology environment. Is this an option? I see a lot of openings for surgery or general, but haven’t really found a lot on P.A.’s in the mental health field. What other fields can one get into?

Also, I would love to hear some from some people who are actually P.A.’s. (Especially if you work under a Psychiatrist) Do you like it? How are the stress levels?

Weirdest school ever seen in recorded history?

Date September 2, 2011

There is school in Texas, where they do not get the kids to study ordinary lessons. These kids are apparently special, known as the cola kids.

Cola kids have different kinds of rights and obligations to ‘normal’ humans.
They have to walk to school backward for example.
They go to school at night and study at night from the hours of 11pm until 5am from Saturday to Wednesday, and they have what would be the summer holidays in January.

At assembly, they have to all lick stamps; and shout ‘Whale’ as loud as possible.
They then have to go to their class and study a range of topics.
They do not study; math, english, science, history, art, music, and religion etc.
No, they study emotions.
For instance; pride, anger, fear, joy, boredom, pain and pleasure; even confusion.
In anger; they are verbally abused, beaten, spat at and forced to fight against each other.
In fear; the teacher will walk around wil cans of petrol threatening to burn them to death, threatening them with abuse, and putting them under huge amounts of stress.
In pleasure; they get candy, all their favorite music, they watch cartoons, they get to misbehave and eat cookies until they throw up.
In pain; they are tortured, they are found screaming and crying in agony; they are beaten with stinging nettles, caned and so on.
In pride; they have to have a flag for them selves, they have to swear allegiance to them selves and get a rope and walk around like kings.
In boredom; they are locked in a room and are forced watch paint dry.
And so it goes on.

If they are good, they get toilet points; and if they are bad they get bogeys (dried nose mucus) wiped on them.
With toilet points, they get to listen to rude records, and do dirty things and be rude etc; in ways that the police would object to in a very serious way.
With bogeys, the teacher pick their noses and wipe bogeys on the kids faces, and the kids have their hands tied behind their backs so that they cannot wipe the bogeys off; and they are tied like this for hours and hours on end.

This schooling starts at the age of 2 years old, and ends at the age of 23.
With the understanding of all these emotions, if they graduate; they have the qualifications to then work with mentally ill people as psychological counselors and psychotherapists.

What do you think of this kind of education system?

What to do for income while studying psychiatry?

Date September 1, 2011

Hello, I’m in my second year of college right now looking forward to becoming a psychiatrist.

I would like input from somebody who has or is going the route of psychiatry. Although, all other input is very welcome.

I know that becoming a doctor in psychiatry takes years to do, including med school. My job right now doesn’t pay very well and it is mostly a seasonal job.

I’m currently undecided in what major program I am to be enrolled in, but I am taking the appropriate courses to satisfy requirements for med school. Now, if I were to get a bachelors degree in Biology, I could pursue a job as a pharmacy technician or anything else eligible with that degree. This would put me at a good salary, at least over 15K.

Is this goal realistic? Is it a good idea?

I’ll be in school for many years and I need good income. I do not want to live off of student loans and I would not enjoy working at K-Mart or McDonald’s, etc. for the 10-12 years I’ll be studying psychiatry.

Thanks!

Should I see a school psychiatrist/therapist?

Date August 31, 2011

Ok well I’m wondering if I should see a school therapist/psychiatrist but I don’t know if the following "issues" would be serious enough to go. So, the issues are as followed:

Wanting to be a loner (don’t care about),
Narcism (don’t care about) ,
Mild Paranoia/OCD. I’m not sure which it is as I constantly feel as if I forgot to do something and I have to check. (want this somewhat solved,)
Irratibility. Insulting others for asking about anything I find obvious or for coming too close to me (don’t care about),
Anger. Shouting over small insignificant things (want fixed),
Lack of emotions, excluding anger (don’t care about),
Violence, punching/kicking people for small things.

So should I see a therapist/psychiatrist, would they tell my parents I’m going, how would I ask a teacher to see them (I have trouble communicating sometimes so should I say I am feeling extremely angry due to stress, lie that I have depression or what) and would it be normal to be regretful after asking for help?

Thanks.
Ok, first off thanks to the responses (which I have read thus far) as they each answer a part of the question and some are particularly helpful. How would you go about finding if there is a pschiatrist in the school though (as I don’t want to ask a teacher, lieing to the teacher and then getting into trouble for lieing about why I wanted to know) without your parents knowing?
And (yes, I’m going to keep editing this question as opposed to making new ones every 5 minutes :P) what is generally the routine for therapy/psychiatry(?)? As in, do you enter and they ask you what’s wrong or will they ask you numerous, specific questions?

Science suggests pedophilia is a fixed sexual preference. Just because it?

Date August 30, 2011

cannot be changed doesn’t mean it is justified. Don’t you believe that new methods of psychotherapy treatment are needed?

"Michael Seto, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto… cautions that pedophiles can’t be cured. ‘We’re moving toward the idea that this is a stable sexual preference," he says. "It’s not something that goes away — this is true of them for the rest of their lives.’"

How to become a Criminal Profiler?

Date August 29, 2011

I know for a fact I want something in the field of psychology. I’d really like working with criminal profiling. I know you need at least a masters in criminal justice, if not a PhD, and you need some kind of psych degree. What kind of psych degree? I originally wanted psychiatry, but that’s about 12 more years of school. So do I study behavior, forensic mental health, general psychology, what? If you could lay it all out please, that’s be really great. Thank you!
