General Internal Medicine. It is all you will do.
Psychiatry.
My thoughts exactly as well. It's all you do in psych.
Well, that and prescribe any number of mind-altering drugs for made up diseases that don't exist
Want to major in philosophy, but also want to major in something that covers the med school prerequisites so I can kill all my birds with one stone.
Everybody's entitiled to an opinion I guess.
Maybe yours will carry more weight on the other side of those prereqs...
Right, because formal schooling is man's only means of acquiring knowledge. If a university professor didn't say so, it's not true. Credentials are more important than arguments. What's important in life is to accept what your authorities tell you and not rock the boat by saying something that goes against the grain. And if that doesn't bring you intellectual fulfillment, just take meds to block it all out.

Now, I'm not going into psychiatry, and frankly could give to flips of your opinion, but it drips of ignorance.
Try reading up on a lot of the psych basic science research that has been going on the past 10 years or so. There are physiologic changes that occur in the brain during mental illness that can be seen on fMRI which are statistically significantly different from normal physiology and statistically significantly similar to each other. Mental illnesses have been reproduced with knock-out mice. Atrophy of specific cortical areas can been seen on autopsy associated with specific mental illnesses. Mental illnesses are very much real diseases producing real biologic changes in the patients that suffer from them.
So simply insisting that mental illness is real is fail argument.
I'm sure there's a specific psychological term to describe your knee-jerk overly-defensive reply.
There's a specific psychological term to describe the level of intelligence reflected in all three of your posts: "profoundly ******ed."
i can hit you over the head with it, then use it to bury you
Adding a smiley face doesn't make your psychopathic message any less creepy.
Adding a shovel doesn't make your head any less buried in the sand.
A wise admission of defeat on your part. I accept your surrender.
