Today, it is official that I'm in my 6th week of psychiatry posting. That means that next week I'll sit for my video exam. One thing I noticed about being in the Psychiatry Department is that they are filled with concern people. I mean this is like the only posting that have a revision schedule. All of the lectures are super nice people. So nice that during our debate competition, a very respected senior lecturer called and asked to watch our debate. Like voluntarily, I don't think other lecturer from other department care that much. Okay, I know that I am just rambling here.
Actually, after being in Psychiatry Posting for 6 weeks now, I've come to realize that mental health is soo soo soo important. All these mentally ill patient, they are just unfortunate people, born with a few risk factors, probably exposed to other few risk factors while they are living this complicated life and with some unfortunate twist of fate...BAAM! the perfect stressor/stressors and they end up with a disease. We are all prone to it. During this posting, I've heard so many stories. Top scorers goes down with schizoprenia after getting only 7A in SPM, a mother getting depression after the death of her baby during birth, a child getting ADHD after the divorced of his parents. I mean, when I listened to all these stories...it seems a little bit unfair, right?
There are so many things that I wanted to point out here, but really I am a bit lazy to type. But I think, people should really read more on parenting skills, communication, stress management skills and most importantly try to be strong spiritually because having faith to Allah for whatever happens has its own reason, it gives strength to believe that everything is gonna be okay. Other than that, people should really realize that they need support system, and people need to realize that other people need their help. We human need each other to response to their cries, their agony, human need each other to lean on, a helping hand. We are not alone, we live as a family. We are one another. So I guess that's all my random ramble for today...need to head to the library and learn something theoretical about Psychiatry.
