TW: Suicide Ideation (call/text 988 for help) In this vlog, I discuss my experiences from a 24-hour shift including being on call while in my psychiatry residency. I cover the various responsibilities I manage, from the emergency room consultations to inpatient care. I delve into the psychological impact of extreme stress on military recruits and the importance of feeling supported and not alone. Additionally, I touch on balancing these demanding shifts with personal life, especially when both partners are in the medical field. Tune in to learn more about the challenges and rewards of a psychiatry residency.
