Modern life is full of stress, expectations and so on. For many people stress and depression is so common that it has become a way of life. But the consequences can be hazardous. It can be life threatening and serious. Whenever our condition worsens then we ask doctors to help us and bring us back to normal. The same way when we are mentally unhealthy we visit a psychologist. Psychology is a vast subject and it has several opportunities to offer. Until and unless we are interested and looking for opportunities it doesn’t knock our door.
Since psychology is the study of human mind and behavior, it has numerous applications in all walks of life — work, family, relationships, sports, industries and in organizational spaces. We all should always choose a field as well as a career which interests us, make us feel confident and delighted. Psychology has numerous career opportunities. The following are – :
COUNSELLING (Counselling psychologists helps clients deal with personal and interpersonal problems that they face in daily life), SCHOOL and HEALTH COUNSELLORS help individuals in their
respective field, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY (This field deals with the diagnosis, understanding and treatment of psychological disorders), INDUSTRIAL PSYCHOLOGISTS apply their knowledge and skills on workplace, DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY (a field dedicated to the study of how human beings develop over the course of their lifetime), FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY (a field which deals with sensitive issues and legal proceedings) and SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY (impacts the performance of athletes and sports teams by motivating them which eventually enhances their performance).
