What would be most beneficial for me to do this summer? Research or clinical experience?
So I'm a junior in college, my major is Behavior and Health. I had been planning to be an Occupational Therapist for a WHILE but last month I just realized I was picking that career because I thought I wasn't "smart enough" to go into research/PhD work like I wanted to back in high school. I want to study schizophrenia, specifically the prodromal phase and the onset of psychosis.
Here is what I've done in college as far as extracurriculars:
Tae Kwon Do
SAT Tutor for low income school...

treatment resistant bipolar/schizophrenia?
At my job I've inherited some of the more complex cases after someone in my hospital system left. It is a population of veterans who get intensive case management and a number of them are diagnosed with treatment resistant schizophrenia/bipolar disorder. Classically, I was taught that if someone fails two antipsychotic trials, it is not unreasonable to consider clozapine and there is not much evidence for multiple antipsychotics. However, a number of my new vets are on 2 antipsychotics and...

Is this an unusual reason to go into psychiatry?
I am pursuing psychiatry and when people ask my reason, I tell them: good hours, low stress, low burnout, controllable lifestyle While all of these are true, there's more to it.
*This might be TMI *
I was abused as a child, both sexually and physically, over the course of a few years. I may not know what a schizophrenic patient is going through, but I definitely understand those going through insecurity issues, anxiety, depression, etc.
It was interesting talking to people that have...

Behavioral neurology and general psychiatry?
I know behavioral neurologists typically treat or manage psychiatric issues associated with organic, neurological disorders such as psychosis from alzheimers for instance. But can a behavioral neurologist manage psychiatric symptoms of disorders of unknown etiology? Or those without a visible neurological basis such as PTSD or schizophrenia?

Few questions on the history of ECT and catatonic schizophrenia
Hello all!

I would be extremely grateful if you guys could provide some answers, or signpost me to some reliable sources.

Behavioral neurology and mental illness?
Can a behavioral neurologist treat certain mental illness such as schizophrenia? Or are they only allowed treat behavioral/ cognitive symptoms that result from a known lesion or pathology in the nervous system?
With that being said, couldn't schizophrenia technically be considered a "functional neurological disease" since professionals and scientists know there are neurobiological components but haven't pinpointed any structural deficits (as of yet)?
Also, in behavioral neurology, do...

Although they are my favorite patients to deal with in all of medicine , what aspect of their treatment makes it so complicated that it is exclusively treated by psychiatrists . I mean no offense by this , but I feel like , the diagnosis is quite straight forward , once you are able to exclude drug tox , mood disorder with psychotic features , or...

Psychiatry vs neurology .. help
I have posted this already in the neurology forum but would like to get this forums perspective . MS3 here . I've been struggling for the past weeks and months trying to make a decision between neurology and psychiatry . My question is whether a neurologist with a great deal of interest in schizophrenia would be able to set up a practice in which he would also treat them in addition to the regular neurology patients. I am completely fascinated by schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder and...
