Psychiatry: a television campaign launched to break down prejudices and attract students. In France, there are fewer than 16,000 professionals, for 13 million people affected by a psychiatric disorder.
Among medical students, 37% say they are afraid of it. In reality, it is considered less prestigious by students than surgery, ophthalmology or cardiology, says the president of the National College of University Psychiatry. Today, a quarter of the 15,500 French psychiatrists are over 65 years old.
