I'm like, well, that's less for me to do. voice-verified

That's great. voice-verified

But I thought voice-verified

Professor of psychiatry, is he not going to be a little bit stuffy? voice-verified

I didn't expect you to have the fun personality that you have. voice-verified

Do you come up against that a lot? voice-verified

So tell me about studying and specializing in psychiatry. voice-verified

Why did you choose that? voice-verified

And what drew you to this area that even in school you were saying it's it's, you know, e c eb an economist or a psychiatrist? voice-verified

Well, who knows how many future psychiatrists are being uh inspired by you when you take to the stage? voice-verified

I'd imagine many. voice-verified

Um and what is the difference for people who don't know between psychology and why we do what we do and psychiatry? voice-verified

It's sort of come to the fore now the difference. voice-verified

Now we're getting so many more diagnoses in the area of neurodivergence. voice-verified

And often perhaps parents or people who get a a diagnosis will know you can't get medication, as you've said, from the psychologist who's helped you to understand who you are, who may have even given you that diagnosis. voice-verified

you then need to go on to a psychiatrist and certainly when it comes to children, they can be harder to find than others. voice-verified

But I suppose that's the distinction, isn't it, between the two roles? voice-verified

So with your work in Telehospital as a consultant, who would be the the patients that you'd see? voice-verified

What would be the conditions you'd be dealing with? voice-verified

When we were talking at that launch event about your your work and you you mentioned this to me, um, my first thought was I've never covered acute mental illness on the show in seven years. voice-verified
