Psychiatry

The Psychiatry is a field of medicine that study the mental disorders with the objective of describe, demarcate to be able to establish a diagnosis more accurate of this disorders, helping to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and efficacy of your treatment.

This semester in Psychiatric we have reviewed different disorder like the affective disorders  (unipolar and bipolar depression). In personality disorders we saw the cluster A (paranoid, schizoid and schizotypal disorder), cluster B (Borderline, histrionic, narcicist, psicopatic and antisocial disorder) and cluster C (characterized by anxiety disorders). Also we reviewed eating disorders, the cerebral organic cases, epilepsies, dementia (Alzheimer and vascular dementia), alcoholism and addiction, in addition to some psychotropic drugs and this year they added two class of child psychiatry.

We have two teacher, schedules and places differents of class. The day Wednesday afternoon we have class whit a teacher that is psycologist in the Juan Gomez Milla faculty, and the day thusrday morning we have class in the psychiatric hospital of Universidad de Chile with a teacher that is psquiatrythe previous makes classes more tangled and confusing, because both teachers review different subjects and have different teaching methods, however, both speak of their subject in an expository way but the teacher Psycologist add personal experiences and acts mental disorders, this makes the class more fun.

I like this subject because It is very important for training as a clinical psychologist.
