I read in an old post here that a psychology degree is not necessary to apply for a Master's Degree in Psychology in UPD.
All my life, I didn't know what I want to be when I grow up until now. I'm hoping to gather as much information as possible to be a clinical psychologist. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Edit: I thought a Master's degree in Psychology is enough to be a clinical psychologist. Am I wrong?
The DSM diagnostic manual gives a very precise definition of ADHD. Yet patients, caregivers and clinicians sometimes find that a person's apparent ADHD doesn't fit neatly into the manual's definition. Examples include ADHD that onsets after age 12 (late onset, including adult onset ADHD), ADHD that impairs a person who doesn't show the six or more symptoms needed for diagnosis (subthreshold ADHD) and ADHD that occurs in people who get high grades in school or are doing well at work (High performing ADHD). Today, ask me anything at all about these types of ADHD or experiences you have had where your experience of ADHD did not fit neatly into the diagnostic manual's definition.

That's pretty much the question
I’m pursuing a degree currently in education, mostly with special needs children with a high focus on the autism spectrum individuals. After I complete this and get a career in the field, I want to go back to school to pursue clinical psychology (this is what my T has and does), she sounds so real and authentic when she talks to me. After seeing her for a year, I want to go into the field, but I’m very much afraid I’m too emotionally detached and numb to everything and everyone, we didn’t talk about my traumas in therapy (it was beyond her scope) but she still noticed how numb and detached I was even just talking about my everyday life.
If I want to pursue a career further into clinical psych, I’ll probably have to seek out intense deep trauma therapy for years and years right? Because I have intense trauma (sexual from childhood and physical/emotional and mental) and a sexual assault months ago by a stranger.
I’m just very dissociated all the time, I feel nothing, when I react to people or when they tell me things I sound robotic and insincere
I can’t be like this if I want to be a psychotherapist
Although treatment guidelines for ADHD indicate medication as the first line treatment for the disorder (except for preschool children), non-medication treatments also play a role in helping people with ADHD achieve optimal outcomes. Examples include family behavior therapy (for kids), cognitive behavior therapy (for children and adolescents), treatments based on special diets, nutraceuticals, video games, working memory training, neurofeedback and many others. Ask me anything about these treatments and I'll provide evidence-based information

Hello I am trying to increase my chances of getting into as good of a grad school as I can get into and was wondering what can I do to bolster my application besides a solid GPA and good score on my GRE? I am planning on pursuing a Psy.D for clinical psych and I'm currently trying to find a job that is psychology related but I'm unsure that the steps that I'm currently taking will help bolster my application. I would appreciate any help and thank you for your time in advanced.

As an undergrad psych student who is very interested in going into clinical psychology, I was wondering what unique expertise clinical psychologists have compared to psychiatrists. As far as I know, psychiatrists can prescribe medication and also provide therapy, whereas clinical psychologists can only do the latter.
I guess I'm just wondering what makes the two professions unique and non-interchangeable. Why would someone pick/hire one over the other?
In short his practice is shrinking.
Background :- So I am currently taking a gap year and doing internships where I live and next year I was going to apply in Dalhousie university for ba psychology (hons) degree! I am leaning more towards clinical child psychology as my major for masters and further into phd since that's needed!
My question right now is what is the scope and basically career outlook for psychology right now in canada??! Are there jobs and internships available or is it not worth it to even consider apply especially for clinical child psychology ??? I really want to study in canada since the research programs in the university seems amazing! Though I really want to consider all the pros and cons before I make such a big decision. (Especially international students or students specifically in psychology who took the same path as mine )
Also I wanted to ask in general how is dalhousie university considered for ba psychology in the country? And is it well resected amongst the companies and hospitals??
Thank you so much for reading so far!! And I hope you guys can help me! Thank you💕

Going through career and family problems rn, if this is relevant. The budget is max 2500/session. Thank you!
Dear Raipur Redditors
My friend is in need of a Psychologist for battling fear of failure, entertainment media addiction and overall negative thinking.
Do you know or have experience with a good Psychologist in Raipur. Also, if you have any bad experiences with any psychologist, please warn us.
He has found about Dr. Ela Gupta, on google, We would like to know your views about her treatment, if any.
Thank you in advance.
This is a kind and helpful community.
There are many videos online that I've watched (from the likes of Alan Watts and Joseph Goldstein to name a couple) and Dr. K's guide to mental health has a concise explanation of the concepts that are easy to use as a basis for self reflection. But for someone wanting to safely and respectfully incorporate these ideas into a clinical setting the way that you do, I feel like a greater, broader understanding is needed. Do I have to go to India and ask for training by Yogic monks like you? I have no connection to Indian or Yogic culture so it seems uncomfortably inappropriate as well as expensive to go on that journey expecting to find a teacher. Maybe that's an incorrect assumption or perhaps you know of a better way to go about attaining this kind of comprehensive understanding?
I live in New Zealand if that context is important but I think this information could be very beneficial to anyone on the same dharmic path as me, regardless of location.
Can anyone that works in this field provide me with more information on how they differ with approach to therapy?
I am covered through extended health for Registered Psychologist but not RCC. Is this usually normal? Do you usually pay for RCC out of pocket?
I’m just trying to figure out if I should use my insurance for the psychologist or pay for RCC.
Thanks!
I'm studying to be a clinical psychologist and need to find one to interview as part of an assignment. How do I go about doing this? I've sent many emails out to hospitals which have either been ignored or I'm told they are too busy. Would calling be better? Or am I contacting the wrong places maybe?
Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks.
I’m on my own journey right now on getting diagnosed and was wondering who was the person who diagnosed you?
I’m not really sure what the process is, and I’ve been getting a bit confused. How does therapy work with ADHD? Do you have a main person to talk to and another person who gives you drugs? Or a therapist, psychologist, AND a psychiatrist? I’m afraid of going to a psychiatrist or any doc directly because I don’t want to be treated as a drug searcher. But I also struggle with the idea of repeating my story to so many separate people. I’ve been trying out a therapist lately to see what fits best, I’ve had a few first meetings but she suggested I take medication along side therapy, and is unable yo actually diagnose me.
Thanks everyone. It's 2:00 pm Eastern, so I'm signing off.
I'm Dr Jordan B Peterson. I've spent 25 years as a clinical psychologist, professor and research scientist, first at Harvard and then at the University of Toronto. I have posted several hundred lectures on psychological, religious and (less willingly) political matters on YouTube, where they have attracted hundreds of millions of views and no little controversy. Finally, I am the author of 12 Rules for Life (https://jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-life/), which has been the best-selling book in the English-language world for the last four months, and Maps of Meaning (1999), which is coming out in audio form on June 12 (https://jordanbpeterson.com/maps-of-meaning/).
I'm currently embarked on a 12 Rules for Life lecture tour in multiple cities in the US, Canada and Europe (with many more cities to be announced soon in Europe): https://jordanbpeterson.com/events
Finally, I am the creator (with my partners) of two online programs
https://www.understandmyself.com/ https://www.selfauthoring.com/
the first of which helps people map and interpret their personalities and the second of which is a series of guided writing exercises designed to help people cope with their past, understand where they are in the present and develop a vision and a strategy for the future.

Anyone have any recommendations or anything?
pref bulkbilled but they seem pretty hard to come by.
Would ideally be female, and not a councillor as I’ve heard of bad experiences with councillors and I think I’d be more receptive to a clinical psychologist.
Ideally middle of the road cost-wise but I’d happily pay more if there’s a person or group that charge more and give top-tier care.
Location isn’t an issue but ideally somewhere around the CBD or inner suburbs
For the type of care needed if relevant:
- anxiety
- relationships
- mental and life growth and improvement
- trauma
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated:)

Im currently finished grade 12 and am looking into uni courses.
Psych is an area of interest for me and it has been my main preference over the past year. However, i have done research and have heard that an undergraduate psychology degree is worthless and gets you nothing, there was even a ted talk on it (i think), and that if you are going to do an undergrad psych degree, you must follow through and go all the way to the masters.
Essentially, i want to do psych but i just feel like clinical psych is just not an area that i would enjoy working in.
So im just wondering if i were to go into an undergrad psych degree next year, and decided that i really would not like working as a clinical psychologist, what other options would i have other than to move to another course?
Another thing is whether or not i get into the masters, if i dont get in what could i do then?
I started Lexapro about 2 years ago as I began to notice social anxiety negatively impacting my job. I began to turn down opportunities like major presentations or leadership roles for fear of failure in a social context. For some background, I've had social anxiety since I was a young kid and have always been called sensitive for my emotional reactions to events that "aren't a big deal." Generally I just learned to "deal with it" as I come from a anti-medication family who favors holistic supplements over "big pharma." I'm also diagnosed hypothyroid controlled with medication but there does seem to be a correlation between anxiety, depression, and hypothryoidism.
I work as a clinical psychologist so meds aren't my ballpark but the research does indicate that meds+therapy have the greatest efficacy. The therapy side I have spent years utilizing (personally I'm a big fan of CBT and ACT techniques) and this is also something I teach all day, but I was hesitant to use medication given my background. Finally, I decided to try medication during a particularly stressful year and it has made a huge impact. I'm much better able to challenge my negative thinking and those intrusive thoughts are "turned down" significantly. I still feel myself, but more balanced with my thoughts and feelings.
I'm using 10mg of Lexapro (up from 5) and this is my personal sweet spot. I did experience initial side effects but now, years later, the only thing I notice is morning nausea that lasts about 10 mins if I don't eat breakfast fast enough. I still highly recommend therapy to accompany Lexapro if social anxiety is something you struggle with, but for me it was the missing piece of the social anxiety puzzle that I needed. Anyway, I hope this is helpful to some and feel free to ask any questions.
