With more than 25% of Americans suffering from a diagnosable mental illness every year, the ability of clinicians to identify, treat, and appropriately refer patients is of the utmost importance. Regardless of what medical specialty you choose, mental health issues will play a significant role in your career and have a significant impact on the long-term health of your patients. One of the goals of PIG is to provide a forum for discussion of mental health topics and to promote student interest in psychiatry.
