Hey everyone, I've got another question about psych. What appeals to me about psych is neuroscience, psychology, advances in understanding minfulness meditation as a way to improve peoples lives, and getting to know someone's deep, personal background. I just don't get excited about prescribing medications to people. Yes, I know some people NEED to be on medications d/t their severe mental illness (bipolar, schizophrenia, ect.). But for some ppl with depression and anxiety I don't get excited about putting them on meds. Or just "tweaking" some of the meds they are on. I feel that a large part of psych is medications management. But I've heard stories of psychiatrists that just do a lot of therapy and don't prescribed meds.
I guess my question is should I be turned away from psych if I feel this way?
