Does becoming qualified as a psychiatrist involve shadowing a real mental health professional during their busy periods followed by 6 months online learning and hanging a certificate on the wall?
If a reply perpetuates a process rather than causing change, should you reply or leave?
And would it matter if I sincerely believed I was making quality patient observations or would it be fantasy just the same? I'm asking anybody who reads this and naming nobody.

@divegeester saidI've no first-hand experience of becoming a qualified psychiatrist but am sure (after years of study) it would involve a period of shadowing, ongoing training (online and in the workplace) and would result in a certificate one could hang on the wall to evidence they were indeed qualified to practice.

@divegeester saidWhy bring up such a topic? I would think a man of your age would be more interested in philately or numismatism.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI’m completely agree with you, especially with the “years of study” addition, which could be expanded to years of study to become a medical doctor followed by years of study to become a registered psychiatrist.

And of course maybe the odd 6 months course, and even a certificate, wall hung or otherwise presented.

@divegeester saidLook, if this feels like your time to get well, this is the time to do it.

@divegeester saidBecoming a psychiatrist involves going to med school and becoming a medical doctor.

Becoming a psychologist, on the other hand, requires going to graduate school and obtaining a Ph.D. in psychology.
You know, just so you know.
One can't help but wonder, however, why you've decided to post this in the Spirituality Forum.
@divegeester saidHmmmm, so it is.
This is the General Forum Suzianne.
I apologize, it's been a long night.

@kevin-eleven saidOn the lookout for cheap thumbs of acceptance Kevin?
@Suzianne
Dive is a jackass. No need to apologize to him ever.
@divegeester saidI don't know, it was enough to get FMF to re-consider his double-fisted attack.
No need to apologise; not for that anyway 🙂
It would have been better though, if I'd beaten his post by seconds instead of the other way 'round.
