A subject you’ve enjoyed studying this semester

One of my favorite subjects this semester is the psychiatry course.

This course has a synchronous mode. It is taught in two blocks of one hour each, each block being taught by a different teacher. In the first block we are taught by a psychiatrist and in the second by a psychologist. I usually take notes on both classes on the computer. I feel more comfortable taking notes on the computer in this class because it is faster and more comfortable to rewrite some point of the subject that I missed during the class.

Among the main contents that have been seen in the psychiatry course during this semester are topics such as models and theories of Medicine and Psychology, the relationship between Psychiatry, Neurosciences and Clinical Psychology, the origins of psychiatry, the perspective of diagnosis, psychiatric classifications, and the principles of psychopharmacology.

I must say that I chose the psychiatry course as one of my favorites this semester because of its content and methodology, although it is somewhat difficult to learn everything about the course in this context of a pandemic, the classes in general are very enjoyable and that is thanks to the teachers. The teachers take the time to talk with the students about the doubts and also, in general, they raise the topics of the class from real cases, which is really interesting. In short, I really liked the content and approach of the teachers who teach this subject.
