Initially, I wanted to become a doctor after watching the movie Patch Adams. I want to be a doctor with my uniqueness, but it still makes me feel warm. Then life as a doctor began when a patient was sitting in front of him. In addition to the disease that is waiting to be treated as a physical health problem that needs to be solved, there is also a matter of mental health. The doctor's image that I had imagined while watching the movie came back. “A doctor with his uniqueness. But it still makes me feel warm” to the question that arises in my mind whether we are like that as we thought.

​

Working as a general practitioner, I felt that college graduate life was more meaningful when helping patients out of physical ailments. But if it's about the mind, many times overlooked not only the patient's heart, including this doctor himself. Inside that accumulated success from warding off disease, it dries up. That day, the image of Doctor Hunter Patch Adams reappeared. Doctor wearing clown nose in pediatric cancer ward Create both happiness and hope in the atmosphere of the dim and gray room to be bright. I accidentally thought that if I could do this, my life as a doctor would be more fulfilled. So I decided to study psychiatry by choosing to be a child and adolescent psychiatrist. I sincerely hope to heal one child to be happy one day or live an average life. Family members will be freed from suffering, worries, guilt. That formed with the problems of children those too or even some diseases, some symptoms, or some patients will not be able to heal But at least I want to be a part of reflecting on the patients and their families the way, goodwill and efforts of everyone to help the children. have a life that goes on Although the success of the treatment may not be a complete cure for the disease. Instead, it is an opportunity for one to continue living to find meaning and self-worth, like a sentence in the movie that impressed the doctor.
