Hi there.

The study of human behaviour and mental processes is known as psychology. It investigates a person's actions, reactions, and emotions. Understanding if such behaviour exists aids in the treatment of behavioural issues associated with it.

After passing class ten, you cannot become a Psychologist!

Dear applicant although Forensic Science course is a combination of law and science together. Forensic science can be learnt from the undergraduate level. The undergraduate programme is for three years, after which the student is provided with a B.Sc. degree. But yes there is chance of studying BA in Psychology as well but to be a forensic psychologist you need to have Science stream in 10+2 as a forensic psychologist is trained in psychology. They assist governments, judiciary and other investigative agencies. So you need B.Sc degree for that, but after your Arts degree you can become a genuine Psychologist.

Hello Aspirant,

Psychiatrist

Requiring a very specific trajectory during the educational stage, a psychiatrist has the important responsibility of assigning people diagnoses (based on their evaluations) and making sure that they get the proper medicines.

For the most part, a psychiatrist comes in at a stage when a patient has already gone through various other structures that are designed to support those who are suffering from mental health conditions – a psychiatrist comes into the picture at the last stage of the journey of mental health.

Usually, a psychiatrist is also well versed in certain forms of counselling or therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

It’s not a walk in the park if you want to become a licensed psychiatrist. You have to finish an undergraduate degree in medical school and then do an MPhil from an RCI-licensed college to finally be able to call yourself a psychiatrist.

Typically, salaries from psychiatrists average around (https://www.payscale.com/research/IN/Job=Psychiatrist/Salary) Rs.479,916per year.
