¢ What is it about psychiatry that interests you?

i like psychiatry because it bridges biological sciences and social sciences, and as a medical specialty it stresses patient-physician relationship on the standpoint of mental health and humanity. it's a specialty evolving more quickly than any other medical specialties- and I like that dynamics.
