Psychiatry is hard

3 weeks of placement at an Eating disorder unit was an eye-opening experience. All had their own cause of this mental illness... biological, psychological and social.

And I think that is what makes psychiatry hard, especially history taking because you had to encompass all that - not only the causes, but also the consequences.

A long enduring experience for me because my history taking skills is not too good but I have learnt a lot in this process.... and found out that psych is definitely not for me.
