Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders. They treat patients with mild cases of anxiety as well as those with severe disorders that can cause dangerous and bizarre behavior. Psychiatrists may also diagnose mental retardation and treat alcoholism. They often work with other mental health workers, such as psychologists, psychiatric nurses, and psychiatric social workers. Psychiatrists talk with patients to learn about their mental health problems. They may also use information provided by patients' families or by other mental health workers. They are trained to recognize the connection between mental and physical disorders, so they may order laboratory or other diagnostic tests. For treatment, psychiatrists can prescribe drugs and use shock therapy and psychotherapy. In psychotherapy, psychiatrists use their special training to talk with one or more patients to help them understand and cope with their problems.

//**3. Schooling required **// //**3a. High School **//

The schooling to become a psychiatrist starts in high school. High school students should take as many science, math and social science courses as they can to help them understand what they will be studying later on. Getting good grades in high school is very important, as these grades will help get you into a good college. If possible, it is a good idea for a high school student to shadow a psychiatrist for a day to get an idea of what the field is like. //**__Undergraduate __**//

It is important to choose a quality college for your undergraduate degree. A school that is challenging will look good on a medical school application. Students can choose their own majors, but must complete certain science courses to apply for medical school. Because of this, many premed students simply major in a science field. Premed students have also been known to major in psychology or mathematics as well. Students need to study very hard and will need to take the MCAT exam during the junior year of college to be ready to apply for medical school. A good MCAT score, high GPA and lots of volunteer experience will help students get into the medical school of their choice. //**__﻿ Medical School __**//

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Psychiatrist hopefuls will need to complete four years of medical school. Students will spend most of the first two years in classes studying hard-core science, medical ethics, pharmacology and other subjects. During the last two years, students will complete rotations in many different fields of medicine. These rotations give students hands-on medical knowledge and generally take place in hospitals. It is during these rotations that students usually decide in what branch of medicine they wish to practice. //**__<span style="color: #808000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Residency __**// <span style="color: #003399; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">After medical school, students are now considered doctors and must complete a four- to six-year residency in psychiatry. This residency is recommended to be approved by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education. The first year of residency is considered an internship in which new doctors provide care to many patients with many different medical problems. The subsequent years provide the new doctor with training in psychiatry. Exams are given at different stages of the residency to determine how much the resident has learned. Psychiatrists can also opt to take the voluntary board certification exam for psychiatry. This exam is given by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, but is not required to practice psychiatry.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I interviewed my cousin Tiffy Simmonds. She is a psychiatrist and she loves her job besides the people that work in her office. The positive things at her job is the pay. Because of her pay she is able to live in the richer part of Georgia. The negatives about her job is the people.The most useful thing she learned is that you can't laugh at them. Tiffy makes $180,000 a year and she does not have to continue anymore work unless she plans on having her own practice.
