Psych is my favorite field. I havent had the rotation yet, but have worked in a couple of prisons and psych issues are the majority.


One of the prisoners that I took care of in theMax security house thought that he was a super hero. He always had a towel around his head that looked like a turbon and used the sheet as a cape. It was a very intersting job!!

I found the field to be rather sad most of the time - in general. Not a lot of wellness after treatment, just a better version of illness. I'm talking about the mentally ill and not people with depressive or anxiety disorders, though.

It is sad that lots of mentally ill do not get the follow treatment that they need. Its never dull working the psych units.
