Psychiatrist

That Brain Stuff That Not Many People Like~ :3
Psychiatry is the study and practice of medical treatment of patients with mental stress or disorder. This job is crucial to the station's stability, however does not play much of a role in doing so due to the fact people don't very much adore seeing the brain doctor~

Though, Psychiatry has its perks~ <3

First off, when choosing Psychiatry, you must have basic knowledge of how to scan people and basic knowledge of medicine. This is mandatory. If you end up the only medical on board (highly unlikely) or the only one available, you must at least know how to scan people. Knowing the effects and uses of medicine will come in handy when dealing with tough patients, but it is not a preferred method on the station.

Second, you must have the right mindset. Usually, you dedicate yourself to "the betterment of the station." As in if you get a patient who is distressed or angry, you must calm them. Your job is to get them back to a state of mind they can conduct their work in, or better yet a place where they are rejuvenated and happy. There are cases, however, where the patient is mentally unstable beyond salvation, and it is entirely up to the Psychiatrist to order an issue on the person to be jailed until further notice.

It is important to have a positive moral mindset for this occupation to be efficient in the field. Do not just sign on and start spitting nonsense about life and corruptible ideals. The worst you could do is sympathize with someone to the point you make their condition even worse. Here's the plain fact...

If someone is sad and distressed ICly, there is a high probability they are also sad and distressed OOCly.

When it comes down to it, unless the person is purposefully being annoying and crazy, you are acting as a friend to those who actually have problems OOCly. There is a thin line between IC and OOC when a character gets emotional, so this is why Psychiatry can be an important role. You must take a moral standpoint with both yourself and your character on station to be an effective and respectable Psychiatrist.

Now for the fun stuff~

I do not endorse this as a Psychiatrist's main objective, but if you have proven yourself to people, you can take advantage of your occupation in obtaining roleplay scenes. Your office is secluded and cozy at the back of Medbay, just itching for the doctor to take 'special' patients in for a little 'fun' (The windows can be shut, and the door is one of the only doors that needs high access to open other than by the Psychiatrist himself). Be friendly. Approach people. And always show a morality that people can come to love~

(Sapphina Rose is a popular IC char that practices the occupation. Her motto is "Everyone deserves to be happy, unless that happiness depends on other peoples' unhappiness." She has come to be one of the most recognizable and loving characters on station. <3 )
