Many friends of mine often ask me why I chose psychiatry as a career, as a profession, and I always answer: for me psychiatry is not only a career and profession, it's also a lifestyle.
Obviously, I've always thought that to considered the psychiatry as a lifestyle, the profile of the person must be naturally compatible with this discipline, just exactly as an engineer, architect or any professional would claim to consider their career as a lifestyle.
However, without stepping out from the topic of psychiatry, I consider it a discipline, science and methodology easily relatable to human life, beyond it's deemed limited to the study of mental disorders in people. Why? For me to live every day researching and creating methods to counteract these abnormalities makes me holder of a supporting tool for humanity. Noting the benefit of society that they may represent, make me feel a person made in the life.
Perhaps I not been completely clear to explain or to get this message to 100% but I'm sure for those related to this discipline, there must be a feeling and perspective similar to my attempt to describe in this introductory entry of my personal blog.
