i have an interest in psychiatry in general because i've seen a lot of psycahiatrists and they've given me lots of diagnoses but they all think im a little bit idiosyncratic, i was born very premature so i guess im not like most typical people in some ways.

Hi Tonia, welcome to WP.

When you first start as a new member, you are assigned "ranks" depending on your number of posts. I can't quite remember each cutoff, but most are named for a bird or some other flying creature (I think "Butterfly" comes after "Emu Egg").

After a certain number of posts (1000 or 2000--can't remember which) you get to create your own phrase in that place on your profile. I think you also become "Veteran" after one of those numbers--someone else correct me if I'm wrong.

You mentioned an interest in Psychiatry. My undergrad major was Psychobiology.

Again, welcome, glad you found us.
