HELP ME!

I want to become a psychiatrist, HOWEVER I have only just become interested in this and I am doing my A-levels already which is Psychology, English combined and Health and social care. I was wondering if I was still able to study in university to become a psychatrist with these grades because I am unable to change them as I am half way through my course. I am desperate for a way around this. Someone please HELP?!?

You do realise to be a psychiatrist you HAVE to get a medical degree.

To become a psychiatrist you must study Medicine at university first then specialise in the field of psychiatry. You need to study A level Chemistry and preferably Biology. I am not sure what you can do other than starting your A levels again with the right subjects.

Yes, I know. It's the fact that I have not took a science as an A level, and I need science to be able to study medicine. I'm half way through my year now so I don't know what to do. But I am 100% certain this is what I want to do as a career.😲
