@dr.matthew.parker: Let’s debunk some myths: 1) Psychiatrists can read minds: I wish, if I could, appointments would be a lot shorter 2) All we do is throw pills at people: Nope. Most of my sessions are focused on relationships, stressors, trauma, exercise, and lots of other behavioral factors 3) Psychiatrists are always analyzing people. Nope, we do shut it off when work is done 4) Psychiatry isn’t real medicine: 4 years of med school, 4 years of residency, 3 STEP exams and a Board exam show otherwise. The brain is a part of the body and does need some help every now and again. What did I miss? #MentalHealth #psychiatry #MentalHealthAwareness #psychiatry #depression
