I have been receiving training to diagnose a variety of psychiatric disorders.
That's great! Is it a medical degree that you're working on?
Thats right! Since its the only way I can become a mental health professional.
What a great job! What type of patients do you hope to treat?
Mostly ones which are affected in particular regions or functions of the hippocampus. Thats my specialty! 
Oh wow, that sounds really complex! How many years of school will you have to complete?
About 5 years now. It has caused me significant distress but its worth it in the end!
It will be! Not only do you get the chance to help people, but the pay is probably really great! Maybe I should consider a similar profession!
You should! You can start by relying on observation and questioning to give you an idea of what this profession is like
Thank you for the great advice! Any other pointers before I get started?
