Psychology is fascinating!
It explores various aspects of our daily lives, from communication and memory, to thought and emotion
Psychology is about understanding what makes people tick
and how this understanding can help us address many of the problems and issues in society today.
Basically, it is the scientific study of the mind, brain and behaviour
But this simple explanation doesn’t truly capture the tremendous variety of things you will actually do as a psychologist.
I chose to study psychology because I’m fascinated by human behaviour and how the human mind works.
I’m also very interested in mental health.
Where I’m from in Nigeria, we don’t have much knowledge about that.
So I chose this course so I could learn more
And in the future hopefully do more about eradicating the sigma around mental health.
