Psychiatrists have to be very calm and patient while dealing with psychiatry
patients. Moreover, they also have to be good listeners, and rational advisors.
Besides treatment, psychiatrists have to be good counsellors for the patients as
well as their family. Psychiatrists are
employed in the hospital setting and
are in great demand considering the
surge of psychiatric disorders in the
country. They are employed in both the
private and government hospitals for
the treatment of patients with mental
disorders.

The average salary received by the
physiatrists in our country ranges from
five to ten lacks per annum. However,
it tends to vary depending on the
person’s expertise and experience. As
psychiatry is an evergreen field,
opportunities are expected to increase
in the coming times. Therefore, anyone
interested in this field can take this up as a profession.
