Career

TobyAJ

Okay so I know little to nothing about careers so don't judge.
I was wondering if there is a job that is like a phycologist but just deals with children, teenagers and young adults with disorders such as anxiety and dyslexia that work in a school or hospital/GP setting??

I would like to be a psychologist but do not want to be dealing with mental disorders that could make the job dangerous. IDK if this exists but it would be nice if it did. If you know the name of this type of physiatrist/ psychologist please let me know

Child Psychiatry and Educational Psychology?

GalwayGrrrrrl

I work in adult psychiatry and it’s not really that dangerous. I’ve worked in an acute psychiatric ward for 10 years and never had even a near-miss with a patient. The only people that I’ve seen with injuries are the psychiatric nurses as they are very much front line. Doctors, psychologists etc don’t tend to be in danger. Clinical Psychologists (who work with patients) have a degree then a postgraduate degree (usually a doctorate). Psychiatrists train as medical doctors then specialise in psychiatry. Both are a long amount of training but very interesting careers. Good luck.
