Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and how it dictates and influences our behaviour, from communication and memory to thought and emotion.
It's about understanding what makes people tick and how this understanding can help us address many of the problems and issues in society today.
People seek the help and support of psychologists for all sorts of problems, and psychologists employ their knowledge and expertise to help in many areas of society, such as:
- coping with bereavement
- dealing with trauma
- understanding and dealing with psychosis and schizophrenia
- preventing and overcoming depression
- dealing with stress, and anxiety
- speeding up recovery from brain injury
- helping to stop or prevent bullying
- improving performance both at school and in the workplace
- analysing and improving athletic performance
- Eating disorders and body dysmorphia
