I heard somewhere that the reason a lot of people become psychiatrists is because they secretly want to diagnose their own mental problems and help other people with similar issues. Can this be true or is it just a myth?

Yes. There is research to support this. Not just psychiatrists, but all mental health professionals.

I can see where it would lead to fatigue and break down- especially when it involves the Military . I am a widow of a Veteran and know from experience the problems many mental health Professionals face in the Military .

Would love your thoughts, please comment.x
