Essay on Psychology

Over the years, my passion for becoming a psychologist has developed. I always wanted to help those people who are suffering from any mental disorder. Since my childhood, I always wanted to read the thoughts or mind of the people. At that time, I wanted to know what people are thinking and what factor which causes people to behave in certain ways.

As my passion keeps on growing, I have done an internship in the mental facility where I have witnessed several patients who were going through various mental disorders. At that time, I realize the significance of being a psychologist and the level of responsibility which psychologist fulfills which getting me more interested in this field.

As I want to become a good psychologist, my further plan is to perform graduation in psychology. Some of the related courses I have taken previously are; child behavior disorders, social psychology, victimology, domestic violence, and abnormal psychology. In other words, I have a desire to become a child psychologist, where I have to work with children in the future within the clinical setting. In the mental facility, I have realized that many children were suffering from depression or other mental disorders. There I also got to know that the treatment of children who face mental disorders is different from adult patients.

The adult patients can tell the psychologists what they have experienced in the past and what is making them depressed. However, with children, it is pretty difficult to know what they have experienced and what the cause of their mental issue is. I also have seen that if the mental disorder is not cured in the early stages, then it might cause a problem in the upcoming years. Therefore, I have decided to help the children who are suffering from mental issues so that they can live a normal life just like other normal children.

In the future, I have a plan to go for my Ph.D. degree. The reason is because I want to acquire maximum knowledge regarding children psychology so that I can provide proper treatment to the children who are suffering from mental disorders. The families who have their children who are suffering from mental issue, also get depressed and face many problems. The parents remain too worried about their children, and the atmosphere of the house remain tense if the children are not behaving normally. That is why I want to cure the mental illness of the children so that such families who are going through problems can get relief as well. I believe that if the depression of the children gets a cure on time than in the future, then it is a strong possibility for them to live a healthy life.

This is going to be a huge responsibility because the health and well being of the children will depend on the treatment. If anything went wrong, then it can cause further health issues. Therefore, I will keep on improving my skills and knowledge so that no such situation will ever occur. I will focus on the guidance of my colleagues and senior psychologists. After conducting Ph.D., I believe that I will have the necessary skills to pursue my dream, which is to treat the mental illness of the children.

In my opinion, serving human being should be the prime goal of every living person. Many people in the world are facing problems and mental health issues. I am highly concerned about the wellbeing of depressed people, particularly children. According to my experience and knowledge, children who face or witness domestic valiance usually become mentally disturbed and depressed. Some children highly required the assistance and support of a psychologist to get rid of this issue.  Focusing on my passion for supporting mentally disturbed and upset people and children, I have selected to study Psychology.

In my view, Psychology is the best subject that will support me in accomplishing the goal of helping children and people with depression. In my previous days, I have worked on these goals as I started an internship at New Bridge Medical Center. While working there, I have interacted with some patients, particularly children with depression. I have listened to their issues and problems. From this experience, I have learned that mental health issues and depression-related problems increase when proper medication is not given. Moreover, situations also get worsen when precautions are ignored. In short, lack of medical treatment and psychological support are the key reason for this problem to grow.

Considering all these, I have firmly decided to be a psychologist and support depressed children and adults from the risk of depression and other mental health problems. I want to support abused children to overcome this issue and move on with their lives. I have even planned to ensure consultancy and proper consoling for these abused children regarding how they can overcome such bad experiences to get back in their normal life. For this purpose, I believe that my studies and short course related to psychology will definitely support me.

Furthermore, I also believe that my courses of victimology will support me in getting understanding about the feelings and attitude of the victims. In addition to this, it will also support me in getting information about the psychological effects of bad experiences regarding offense and violence. Child behavior disorder will become a foundation for me to understand the specific behavior of children with depression and who witnessed violence.

Conclusively, I would say that my previous learning and courses will benefit me in accomplishing my goal of becoming a psychologist. Excluding this, I have also planned to enhance my knowledge and practices in this field in the future also, as I am not ready to compromise on my goals. I believe that, soon, I would able to support innocent people, especially the children, as a psychologist, and overcome their problems.
