Answer:

MD Psychiatrist Schooling Needed

I'm aspiring medical school though I am only twelve and have researched colleges. I suggest that you consult with a college planner or at least do research before pursuing psychiatry because it can also affect one's personal mental health or private life. talking to people with disturbing thoughts can often make an impacts on a person. But if you really want to know it is 4 years of basic college and probably you'll want to major in something to do with the studies of human behavior or social interaction. After that you'd have to endure an even more challenging 2-3 years of neurological medical school then residency to either a mental health ward or private psychiatric practicing doctor.
