I am going into sophomore year in high school. I want to go into psychiatry, what should be my focus in highschool/ college (what should I major in in college?) I find math and science challenging, I am better at english and history, however I really want to be either a psycologist or a psychiatrist and go to medical school. What is the difference in the work of a psycologist and the work of a psychiatrist and what are the education requirements? Thanks for your help.

Okay, Today I submitted my Schedule for my Junior year of High School and now I’m interested in learning about how big is this work load. I know it varies by teacher and by schools but the average amount of time it takes to do this. How many hours does each of the classes take? How can I do my Work more efficient from the range in Difficulty. Which takes the most amount of time? Thanks in Advance.
1. Geometry CP.
2. Chemistry CP.
3. English CP.
4. AP U.S. History.
5. AP Biology.
6. Psychology.
7. Anatomy/Physiology.
8. Spanish
9. PE/Health.
For those of you who would like to know why I’m taking these courses its because I’m interested in the following fields. Clinical Psychology, Forensics Psychology/Forensics Lab, and Psychiatry. My absence for the first 2 years of HS accumulate to over 100 days due to illness which dropped my grades drastically. I will be telling my colleges that I apply to in my essay what happened. I believe I got about a 3.0 GPA in My Freshman year and about a 2.6 in my sophomore year. I had surgery in my sophomore year and had to transfer schools which also impacted it. In my freshman year They said I had leukemia which after further tests revealed it was Anemia. This year I’m all better as far as blood work, some what better in my Depression, and now I’m trying to fix the crazy HS Years that I have had. Is there anyway I can get into college with this record. It wasn’t my choice for any of this to happen so If I take these classes which would improve my GPA overall and explain what happened would that help my odds of getting into Rutgers University or Fairleigh Dickinson University. I can get letters of recommendation from all my teachers and Principal and Assistant Principal and my Doctors. Both my Orthopedic for my knee surgery, My Primary, and Psychiatrist.

I’ve been diagnosed as being Bipolar and also having traits of Borderline Personality Disorder. I’ve been hospitalized six times over a period of six months and have nearly given up hope of recovery. I just don’t feel like I’m getting anything out of counseling, or not enough. I’m surviving, but barely.
I’ve been doing lots of research the past few days, for treatment options for Borderline/Bipolar. One of the options I’ve found is a residential treatment center in Illinois. Instead of being a quick in-and-out like my previous six hospitalizations, this would be for a month or more with daily therapy and regular visits with the psychiatrist. It has a holistic approach that includes mind, body, spirit, emotions, and social relationships - all things I desperately need.
I guess I’m just trying to decide what to do and needed to be able to get it out. I’m hoping that maybe if I can get into the program and learn how to live, I might be able to better deal with the junk in my life. One thing I like especially is that they offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (in other words, counseling using horses). I love all sorts of animals, but especially horses. As much as I want to get better, I’m still hesitant, I know how much work it will be and it would be sooo much easier just to stay in bed and hide. It is going to be long, painful, and difficult. Part of me is scared.
Anyone been in a facility like this? What was your experience? Anyone willing to take a look at the facility and tell me your opinion? The web site is http://www.timberlineknolls.com/

I am 23. In 2 weeks I will be graduating with a degree in forensic psychology.
I work in an Atlantic City casino and I am a supervisor in a marketing department.
I am interested in psychology and I have the MCATs scheduled for September.
Should I go to med school and become a psychiatrist? I am interested in psychology but I am not very into the whole medicine side of things. I prefer a cognitive approach to psychology. However, I can make well into six digits as a psychiatrist.
Should I get a PhD in psychology and work my way to become a professor? I am interested in research and teaching and I wouldn’t mind being in a school atmosphere forever. I could also do my own practice on the side if I felt the desire. I am worried that I will not be able to make the amount of money I need to make investments and eventually move into public office.
Or, should I change my route completely and get a masters in business/ marketing. I am doing well in the casino industry and have already made a lot of strong connections. With a masters in business/ marketing I can make myself much more valuable. There are people at the top looking out for me and there is nothing to do but move up. However, I fear getting stuck at a certain level and never reaching the point I desire. Also, I don’t feel like I am cut-throat enough for the business world.

I’ve been thinking about what I want to do after high school, and can’t seem to set my focus on one thing.
I like helping others, but not as a doctor or firefighter etc. I have interest and am pretty good in English, History, and Science.
I’ve been thinking about psychiatry, therapy, or maybe forensic work.
Anything else you can think of? I’m just weighing my options.

I am preparing for my Massage Therapy schooling, by starting off with an Anatomy course online. I heard from several sources that it is a HARD course to learn and do well in. I have never had medical background and I want to make sure I understand what I’m getting myself into with Massage school. Any tips? study tips?

Also, do you like the ones I’ve named already?
My main character is the one I need a name for.
My story starts off when she’s very young, around 3 or 4, and skips throughout her life, going to when she’s 8, then 12, then 17, and then ending when she’s 29.
She’s got dark auburn hair that looks red in the sun, and blue-grey eyes with long eyelashes. She’s very pretty, with very pale skin. She’s also very intelligent, with a genius level IQ. She’s a little odd, personality wise, because she doesn’t have very good social skills because she’s so bright. The few friends she does have, she’s very close to. She very sweet and loving with people she’s known for awhile, but doesn’t get close to others easily. She has abandonment issues from when her parents ran out on her, and she ended up in the care of her uncle, who abused her.
Halia Cormier: My main character’s best friend. Halia is pretty, but not as pretty as my main character. She’s got blonde hair and dark brown eyes. Halia’s known my main character almost her entire life because they were neighbors until they were 12. She’s extremely extroverted, and she loves to talk. As a teen, Halia loves going on dates, playing the field, and she often encourages my main character to come out of her shell a little. She’s also a brilliant violinist.
Jack Robertson: Jack is a guy my main character meets when she starts college. They both have the same goal: to become psychiatrists. He wants to be a forensic psyciatrist, while she wants to be a pediatric psychiatrist. They end up becoming good friends, but he’s in love with her the entire time. He’s very sweet, but very outgoing like Halia. Jack has dark brown hair and green-brown eyes.
And then theres:
Lillie Marsden: A friend of Jack’s. She’s very bubbly around good friends, but is otherwise shy. She ends up becoming a collegue of my main character because she becomes a pediatrician in the same hospital my main character works at. She has curly red hair and brown eyes.
Caleb Harrison: The love of Halia’s life. They meet in college, where he’s on a journalism scholarship and she’s on a music scholarship. He loves to write, and dreams of being an author, but he’s just sticking with newspaper while he’s in college. He’s got curly light brown hair and green eyes.
What do y’all think? Any ideas for my main character?
Thanks for all the great suggestions, guys! I’m loving Aislinn so far, but I could use a few more suggestions.
Also, what do you mean by western, Dini-Chan? I’m curious!
I really like Lacie!
Also, I’m trying not to use names that people I know have. Sorry if it seems like I’m being choosey, but I’m looking for something uncommon, but not crazy.
