Hi everyone! My name is Vania…my patients call me Dr. M since my last name’s hard to say and remember. I’m a wanna-be Psychiatrist currently in my 2nd year of residency (2 yrs, 5 months left…but who’s counting?). I created Freud&Fashion after I recently got inspired by fashion blogs! I’m not exactly a fashionista (I mean, how can I be when I’m about $200K in debt), but I’d like to think I’m savvy with my “S0-cal Casual but Dressy-enough-for-work” kinda style.
But my MAIN purpose is to give a glimpse of the life of a new doctor with a passion to learn how to best help those who struggle for normalcy in life. I believe that someone with mental illness is just like someone with a diagnosis like hypertension…sometimes they need medication, sometimes they don’t…but either way, the illness shouldn’t prevent them from enjoying life. My life has definite ups and downs and as I learn to treat others, I undergo my own sense of therapy as well. So my goal is to share my experiences and give tips on therapy pearls that I learn along the way! (mixed in with a little of my own personal interests such as fashion, decorating, and food, which is fast-paced and easy enough for the life of any growing professional!).

I think to be a stylist Doctor is something that we don’t see everyday and that’s actually a very good idea.
What would links would you recommend to get more idea of the correct fashion ?
Love the name….altho based on your picture, it should be called “HotPsychDocBlog”
Hey there Dr. M…aka…Ate Ban…aka…my sister and fellow mental health junkie! Wow, you know what they say…our family must be really messed up!! haha! Unfortunately I can’t relate as a “fashionista” since I seemed to have lost my sense of style years ago!! 
You’ve witnessed the regression and have helped me attempt to bring it back! Now that I think about it, my sense of style went on a downward spiral along the time that I made my life altering decision to stop pursuing dentistry for a career as an aspiring Marriage and Family Therapist!! Twisted, I know! That’s a potential blog idea for me as a “contributing commentator”: Life Transitions: how to cope with the aftermath and come out a survivor! Anyway, I align with your philosophy on mental illness (well said) and am excited to follow your posts as a developing doctor with fashion, flare and fun! 
What an awesome way for you to share your knowledge and style…and for followers to look out for free therapy tips from a professional! 
I love you Ate Ban and am very proud of your accomplishments!
