how much does a psychiatric associate get paid?

I have a bachelors degree in psychology and am looking into a position as a psychiatric associate. Does anyone know the salary for this type of job? Ive heard its an hourly range of 12/hour.




I’m really more interested in being an actual psychiatrist, but I can work up to that, I’m sure. However, If I join the military with the intention of being a psychiatric technician, do I need a degree before joining?

I’m asking because I can’t afford schooling for ANY career without putting myself in a giant whole of debt. Would the military provide training for a job as a Psychiatric technician? While on that paycheck, I can study to become an actual psychiatrist, or whatever else I want to, ya know?

How do you treat/cure agoraphobia?

I have agoraphobia and it has really been rough for me. I can’t ever leave my house without having panic attacks. Sometimes, I even get them while I am at my house. It makes my life so miserable. I can’t even get a job or go out anywhere with my girlfriend because of my agoraphobia. I am on Prozac and Lithium for it but it doesn’t seem to help. Please give me some advise!!!




Today all I did was sign up the initial forms and my anxiety already overwhelmed me and nearly freaked out. I can’t let that happen of course when I start working. I see the psychiatrist Tuesday morning, I have orientation for work Tuesday night. However I can’t start my medicine until Thursday because I am on a sliding scale with the office as i have not had income or insurance and they will give me free medicine. How can I keep it together long enough to keep my job while waiting to get my medicine?




Panic Attacks?

I get anxious now due to some panic attacks I’ve been having. My first attack was really scary, got dizzy and felt like things werent real if that makes sense.

Anxiety often brings me all the usual symptoms, izziness, heart speeding up, sweating etc but my attacks when they do happen always involve a feeling of dizziness and disorientation. I’ve found that if I mentally focus on what I’m going through the attack will subside and I’ve not had an attack as severe as the orginal since.

People say they come out of the blue or are a result of an underlying worry but I can’t identify this. I’ve had a few health worries leading directly to the first attack and i’ve been unhapy in my job for some time.

Three months ago I was fine and now I live in fear (anxiety) of another coming when I can’t control it, such as driving the car etc. My doctor gave me some Fluoxetine to calm my anxiety which has varying success.

Can anybody sympathise with this and help me dela with this?




How do I get rid of social anxiety disorder?

I know I have this disorder and I would like to get rid of it. This disorder limits me in many ways. Like I don;t want jobs that require being too exposed to people or just talking to people. A job I refused to work in is Mcdonalds drive thru since I needed to talk to people all the time. Please, how do I get rid of it? Thanks :)




Anybody else with panic disorders?

How do you cope with it? I don’t hyperventilate but I have every other symptom. I finally have a job and that’s helping with my agrophobia. I’ve never been properly diagnosed but all signs have been pointing to the bleeding obvious for years. I also have a phobia of medication, I can’t even take a Tylenol. Any non-medicinal; ways on coping with panic disorder? I’m sick of the fact that it’s controlling my life.




I have to make this thing for school about a job that I would like to have in the future, but I have no idea what to choose… I love public speaking, writing and helping people. I’m a really good leader and I am good at organising things. Classic high achiever. Ideas, anyone?




Please tell me what a psychiatric tech does and what kind of job is it? and where do they work and are they appreciated?




I am trying to replace the water pump on a 1999 plymouth breeze 2.4L. The tension pulley just seems to have one bolt in the middle as opposed to some of the stuff i’ve seen online with an offcenter bolt that can be spun with the head of a socket rench, Keep in mind I don’t know much about cars, and this is a learn as we go job




im obsessed with psychiatry, but im strongly against it. is there any way i can find a job working for a anti psychiatry group? i reasearch it everyday and and have wrote a near 30 page paper on it
i dont believe there is a central nonprofit group, but i was just looking for ideas.




I was fired when I had a chemical imbalance?

I got fired for being too nervous. I have a chemical imbalance and couldn’t afford my medicene that first week and so I only worked there 8 days, and those were all training days. At the end they sat me down and said I was too nervous and didn’t remember enough of the menu. Now that I have my medicene and I’m normal and highly functional, if I ask them to give me my job back, do you think they will?




What is a better job, a physical therapist or a pediatrition. Considering work hours and how much money they make.
