Psychiatric patients have a wide range of symptoms, and come from every walk of life. Ultimately, psychiatry is about helping people who are having difficulty reaching their potential. While the focus is on symptoms and their treatment, the goal is to improve the ability to function. Thus, I am interested particularly in people who want to improve themselves.
