What to Take If Interested In Becoming a Psychiatrist & Posted: 08-05-07 21:09pm


Well, im 15 years old. going into the 10th grade. I recently, just got off the Crappiest job in the world and it got me thinking, if i want to go from crappy job to crappy job in my life, i can be an fool and not try my best. Or i can be smart and start getting my education on track, Im wondering, what to take in highschool, what to read up on, Maybe some sort of Apprentice-ships, courses i could take, to become a psychiatrist. Because i Really have a passion for helping people with their problems, all sorts of people. All my friends say im great at giving advice. It makes me feel great when a friend of mine resolves a problem through me. Thankyou please reply

Yes you will have to college for either the psychology or psychiatric fields. The difference is that you will have to study more to become a psychiatrist. They are real doctors who prescribe medicine. Psychologists are there more to help you out with solving your problem rather than medicating.
