Question by .: How to become a psychiatrist?
I really want to become a psychiatrist/ therapist, I don’t mind whether child/ adolescent or adult, I took a psychology course in high school and loved it, I found it so interesting and I would really like to help people

But I hear a lot of people take a psychology degree and don’t get any related jobs, I just moved to Tennessee and will be going to college near Knoxville

Does any one know how easy it is to get psychiatry/therapist jobs here? How would I go about achieving my goal?

Alternatively I could like an Elementary school teacher? Do you think that is a more sensible idea?

You have probably been drinking for a long time so your body is not used to the stop of alcohol you should have continued to drink and lowered the amount after every couple days and slowly stopped now i think you should start but not too much and from there slowly stop.

Question by Kyle: Why is my acne still so bad?!?
Ok so I started to get acne in 8th grade and it wasn’t that bad so I didn’t pay much attention to it. But once I started my freshmen year it started to get worse so I went to the drugstore and bought some exfoliant cleansers and some astringent pads and it was still getting worse and worse! So I went to my local dermatologist and he gave me a pill which I had to take twice a day. A cleanser for morning and night and in the mornings I had to put on a clear topical cream and at night I had to out on a .5 retinoid cream and lastly I had to use a moisturizer afterwards. I also go to an acne surgeon to get a chemical peel and extractions once a month and it’s still getting worse. Can someone please tell me what I need to do or what I’m doing wrong. I really need your guys help. My self esteem is as low as it gets and its ruining my years at highschool
I’m only 15!
