Assignment 4: Interesting career-related topics

Hello! What a cold day, no?. Anyway I hope it continues raining to decontaminate this polluted city!

Well, my thursday assignment is related to a subject or topic that I had learn in my three years estuding occupational therapy.

One subject that is very interesting to my is psychiatry area. It might be because I find so difficult to understand a psychiatry disorder, also is so complex but exciting at the same time.
The last year we had a subject called adult´s psychopathology and it was very useful to me, because my mom suffer from bipolar disorder so I understood her disease better. Also in second semester we made our practice in "El Peral" working with addicted people and I find it really exciting! as if that wasn't enough we get the best score of all our classmate, proving to me that we make a really good job!

If you want to know more about psychiatric disorder, visit the homepage of american psychological assosiation where you will find lot of information and interesting studies about it.

Other thing that I would like to know more is about psychiatrics disorder in childrens and I´m so lucky, because this year we have a subject call "children´s psychopathology". Till now is more complex and interesting try to understand a disorder in a child than an adult. I think it´s because the appareance of a psuchiatric disorder in a kid is very related to functionality of the family so as occupational therapist we must work with all the enviroment but more than anything with child´s family.

If you want to know more about the children`s psychopathology visit here.

I hopo you learn about all this, and keep visiting my blog!

See you next week
