r/Psychiatry is a subreddit with 183k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses struggling with, psychiatry, psych, residency, and medication, and they frequently recommend/review ai scribe, neuroscience books, and dictation software.
We're a community created for psychiatrists and others in the mental health field to come together and discuss our field. We are not a subreddit to ask psychiatrists questions either about individual situations about psychiatry generally. Those questions should be directed to r/AskPsychiatry.
