He said he initially wanted to be a surgeon but found his passion for psychiatry during a rotation in Danbury, Connecticut. He was inspired by the way patients with mental health issues communicated and spoke passionately about their experiences. Dr. Tarzian emphasizes that psychiatry is more than just prescribing medication; it involves a holistic approach to mental health, including therapy and listening to patients. He also discusses the non-falsifiable nature of psychiatry, which requires detective work to understand and treat patients.

He also offers advice to prospective psychiatry students, emphasizing the importance of a diverse portfolio, education, and networking.
