Easy one to answer. Psychiatry is a dumping ground for MOs who die die want to be called specialists but cannot qualify for anything else. In other countries like Australia, psychiatry is even easier to get into than GP which is considered a specialty. In the USA, psychiatry is heavily influenced by Big Pharma. Birds of a feather flock together so those in psychiatry are sometimes afflicted like the infamous SGH senior con Chan HN.
