      I wanted to be an astronaut or a cinema usher (I loved going to the cinema and thought I would get to see films for free). I realised both of these were not realistic and ended up going to medical school because I was fascinated with how the mind works. My dad was a doctor so I did have medical books around the house which I read and found interesting. I don’t think I knew I wanted to be a psychiatrist until my 20s.
