I can't shake the intermittent doubts about my career choice. I know there are tricky situations where someone is very unwell, doesn't see they are unwell and pose a risk to themselves or others. I have no answers to what's right in those situations. I'm not sure how long I 1/

can cope with being a part of a system that puts extremely unwell people in seclusion suites or 136 suites (fancy names for being locked in an empty room) or medicates people forcibly. I feel like I'd be fine with it if afterwards people would say they were so glad it happened 2/

and could see the benefit of it once they were well again. But not everyone feels this way afterwards and this increases my discomfort. Antipsychotics work extremely well for some, others hate them. I'd rather work with people who are happy to work with me. I'm tempted by a 3/

move to train in psychotherapy but know I would miss multidisciplinary team work and the more practical aspects of psychiatry compared with psychotherapy. Would love to hear thoughts from psychiatry people, others with similar niggling doubts, people who have made the move.. 4/4
