Re: Mental and physical illnesses are caused by something, and we need to find out what...
we're just stating the facts. If that makes you not want to be a psychiatrist that's a healthy sign.
If you can make it through all that schooling with your heart, and not turn into "one of them" those only interested in pharmacology or talk therapy, maybe you can change the system for the better.
It's best you learn where you stand now before you waste all that time and money to become someone who is a glorified drug pusher.
You can do that with a bachelors degree as a pharmaceuticals rep.
Become a nurse in only a few years and you can really care for people and make good money.
Why do you want to become a doctor? My son just wanted a nice car with plates that impress.
It's all good. Keep learning here and there.
Peace.
