How do you expect hiring for psychiatry in the region to increase, decrease, or stay the same over the next few years?

I'm currently completing my diploma as well as a trade on the side. I plan on going to community college for two years and then to a 4-year college. After that to get my bachelor's and masters. I'd like to know what it takes to get through all of these courses to get the optimal outcome. I know it's a solid commitment and I'm willing to work for it so I don't need reminders about how hard it's going to be.

Why are counselors important when it comes to mental health?

My dream career is to be a mental health counselor. Mental health counselors talk to a patient and get to know the person, they do this so they can give advice or feedback that relates more to the patient and their struggles. Speaking from personal experience I have found that counseling does work when you let it and find the right person for you. Once you find the right counselor it's easier for you to talk about things and easier for you to start working on yourself and your struggles. I did counseling for 3 years straight and switched through a bunch of medications until I finally let counseling help me and started taking the things my counselor told me to heart, he told me to start finding things I enjoyed and using them as a release for my darkness that I battle with, and I'm proud to say I have done these things and I'm doing better than I have been in a long time. Mental health counselors can save lives.

Psychology major advice

Can you still become a clinical psychologist with a BA in Psychology? And are there specific psychology fields that don't require a PHD or PSYD? I'm interested in the field but I don't know if I want to spend 12 years in my life at school.
