I’d suggest taking statistics. I took statistics in high school and in college. It will come in extremely handy if you have any interest in doing your own research studies whether on folks in general or outcomes research for folks you may serve as a psychologist, counselor, or psychiatrist in the field!

I would prioritize AP classes that can count towards your college degree. It's a good idea to focus on statistics and chemistry if you have an interest in psychiatry. Statistics is often a required course for any undergraduate degree, so this will be a good start.

I'd highly recommend stats! As a psychology major, I ended up taking no fewer than 3 stats classes in college, and having learned some of those concepts during high school was invaluable and helped me do better in my college classes.
