Why psychology ?

Psychologists are very important people; they help millions of people with
their everyday struggles and problems that they have to deal with. Not only do
psychologists help people with problems that they cannot handle on their own,
they also are scientists who study human minds and behaviors. With being a
psychologist, there are many different careers to choose from within this
profession.

The first type of psychologists to choose from is a clinical psychologist.

Clinical psychologists help people with counseling and psychotherapy. They work
with people who have all around life problems, such as new adjustments in life.
Clinical psychologists also help people who have emotional disorders .

Next is an organization psychologist, which helps in the productivity of

groups and individuals in a workplace. These types of psychologists focus on
improving the function of organizations, and to keep individuals healthy within the
organization.

Another type of psychology to choose from is a counseling psychologist.

These are important psychologists because they teach people how to deal with
their everyday problems. They help their patients determine their problems and
help them understand the problems they are facing. Not only do counseling
psychologists help their patients with the issues they are experiencing at home but
also in their workplace or their community in general. By helping their patients
identify their strengths and resources, is how counseling psychologists help them
with their problems.

The next type of psychology is the developmental psychologist.

Developmental psychologists work with psychological processes and development
that takes place throughout life. They study aging and problems the elderly may
face, but this type of psychologist mainly focuses on children and adolescents .

These are some things that I would take into consideration if I decided to
pursue this career. I realized I wasn’t studying psychology only to understand why
people behave the way they do. I subconsciously also wanted to understand myself,
to figure out what was happening to me and the future that I really want to have.
