I have represented many mentally ill people during my career and my experience has been that psychiatrists just seem to be a bunch of pill pushers that don’t really treat mental problems [...]

I want to be someone that studies how the human mind works, for example, body language. Or how people feel when they write. Etc.
I want to be a professional in this kind of field.
