Psychiatry (not psychology) course: science or non-sci for TMDSAS/AMCAS?

I took a Psychiatry class (labeled PSYC 135 on my undergrad transcript, whereas psychology courses are labeled PSYCH), and am having trouble finding information about whether I should count it as an "Other Science" or a "Non-science" course on the TMDSAS app. I'm sure I'll run into the same issue for AMCAS. I'd appreciate any insight--I've found these forums so helpful during this process, so thank you all in advance!

Probably non-science. BUT, you can give it a shot and put it as a science course. Worse comes to worse they correct it and put it as a non-science course, nothing lost.

What's the class out of curiosity?

It was "Sleep and Dreams," which, yeah, may be a long shot 🙂 In my defense, though, lots of stuff on REM sleep, brain waves and sleep disorders, not actually a whole lot on dreams. Super popular class due to the eccentric/awesome old-school professor who helped discover REM.

I think this would fall under Medicine, but who knows, you could give it a shot and try to classify it as Biology.
