I'm planning on getting a PhD in psych, actually. Clinical psychology. I want to work both as a psychiatrist and a therapist. I think I would prefer working with adolescents rather than adults, however.
By the way Cali, feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to. I've been there and back with DP/DR (or as you call it, dissociative disorder), and I have several issues I'm still working out today, so I'm not in any position to judge.
But psychiatry is a a MD not a Ph.D. You can be both a therapist and a psychologist but it'll take you like 12 years.
Yeah, I know... thanks for reminding me.
sweatdrop In my post, I stated I wanted a PhD in clinical psychology, then I'll get my master's in psychiatry after taking a break from school. How long of a break depends on how I feel after I earn my doctorate.
