 Reflection : I would want to be a psychiatrist, but I don’t think it would be my favorite type of career pathway because I think that I would be interested in the stories herd by patients but after a while in would probably end up getting stressed because I would probably put my life situation in there’s and it would more than likely stress me out .on the other hand I would also want to be one because after talking to the patient about their dilemma if I end up getting in a situation similar I will know how to evaluate myself in a proper manner.
