MD Psychiatry is considered a challenging and rigorous specialisation due to the depth and complexity of the subject. MD Psychiatry requires not only a solid understanding of medical knowledge and human biology but also a deep insight into mental health disorders, their causes, and treatment modalities.

Additionally, psychiatrists need to stay updated on the latest research, medications, and therapies, as mental health care is a rapidly evolving field.
