I had a friend who, when asked "why psychiatry" during an interview, disclosed that one of the big reasons that she wanted to go into psychiatry was her mother's suicide, and her father's bipolar disorder, and that she wanted to dedicate her life to helping people with mental illness.
I told my friend, that i thought that was too much information to disclose and might hurt her chances at that program.
I'm just wondering what people think about disclosing personal information like that. Is it looked down upon, or was it okay for her to be that personal?
