I have felt a calling to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. My interest in psychiatry started during my psychiatry practical course in my last semester of medical school, and I have not regretted my choice of specialty since. I always do my best to help my patients and expect them to be ready to cooperate. I think consistently caring for your mental health is important.
