Hello again. I am now over half-way through my psychiatry rotation. Finished inpatient on Friday of last week and I am currently on the outpatient and consults half of the rotation. It is interesting overall, but it is a bit overwhelming mentally. It is difficult for me to not take on all the emotions of the patients, and since almost every patient I have seen has come in for depression it has been difficult. I am a little disappointed by the breath of clinical practice I am witnessing, as I feel that it has been very one sided and there are a lot more aspects of psychiatry aside from depression and suicidal ideation. Anyways, only 2.5 weeks left. I am looking forward to people being happy that new babies are on the way on OB (though not looking forward to going back to pelvic exams at all). Future orientation for the win!
