The study of mind and behaviour

Psychology is a complex discipline because it involves the study of the human mind. No two minds are alike. Each person is different from the other. A person who studies and practices psychology is a psychologist. 

Psychologists generally conduct scientific studies on behaviour and brain function. 

They observe, interview and question individuals, then identify psychological, emotional, behavioural or organizational problems, and finally diagnose disorders.

How do I know when it's time to get help?

Life isn't easy for everyone. Everyone in the world has their own challenges and problems. Through these trials, there comes a time when everything starts to fall apart. Like, for example:

When a person experiences excessive stress and anxiety, either from work or relationships: If left untreated, this can lead to social isolation, depression or other problems.
When losing a loved one, some people tend to avoid accepting reality. This leads to other problems. A psychologist can help you find appropriate ways to deal with the loss or death of a loved one.

Depression is a common disorder where people lose interest in life and many other things, experience fatigue and often struggle to control their emotions. Finding the source of depression is the job of a psychologist. He or she can help you with this.

Phobias such as sitophobia (fear of eating) or polyphobia (fear of many things) can seriously affect your quality of life. An experienced psychologist can help you overcome your fears and lead a healthy life.
