Why Psychology?


          I will like to start this entry giving the definition of this discipline. Psychology is a science, which studies human and animal behavior. This discipline is concerned with both the theoretical, performance and development of the mind as the study of biological, social and cultural aspects of behavior, socially and individually. It is widely diverse, full of sub-areas and branches field because in psychology you can apply the skills, knowledge and understanding of various activities undertaken by humans and this is reflected in your daily activities. These activities can be events, socialization, education, employment, personal relationships and even mental health treatments. The funny thing is that this discipline is like any other science that requires various other areas of study in which correlate such as: need of humanities, natural sciences, social sciences among others.

      Psychology is very interesting because it focuses on feelings, thoughts, adaptations in the environment in which people live and how this also defined, all conclusions product of the analysis and direct observation, lean them into theories that serve as guide to learn, explain and even predict future actions. The study of psychology teaches how humans think, their behavior and how they get to make decisions. The study of this field goes for a deeper understanding of the personal world. This study applied to other disciplines to give students more tools to understand the underlying behaviors in various fields of study. The application of knowledge of psychology to various spheres of human activity, including issues related to the daily life of the family, education, work and treatment of mental health problems.

          My first approach and study was the natural sciences, I had my ups and downs in this field but I realized that the road of medicine was not for me. The second option was psychology and until today there are no regrets. It is a broad and interesting field because everything you do has to do with the brain and mind. According to the branches of psychology I will incline towards clinical psychology. I consider this very interesting branch because is responsible for investigating, evaluating, diagnosing, predicting, rehabilitate, treat and prevent everything that affects mental health.
