I chose to follow the thread here.
“Study and treatment of mental illness, emotional disturbance, and abnormal behavior” (“psychiatry”)- I want to go into pediatric psychiatry and I feel as though adding this into my paper is going to help me to incorporate my topic of balance into a personal experience. I have always been told by doctors that I know and have job shadowed, as well as other professionals with crazy schedules, that balance is the most important part of their lives. Therefore, this will become a key part of my life as I am an aspiring psychiatrist. Throughout my paper, I contemplate a balance of art and science and how this balance is needed. I will need this other sort of balance in my life too, and I think this will be an important piece to mention in my paper.
“Regain [my] spiritual balance and find meaning in more than trying to technically manage every aspect of [my] being from womb to tomb”- again, this is important in every aspect of life, including art and science. I really enjoy this quote because at some point everybody gets caught up in the moment and worries about something that is out of their control or tries to make everything go just so, and this is not what is important, ever. No matter how old you are, you need spiritual and emotional balance to live a healthy life.
