what one should go with if she wants to be a psychologist(not as a teacher)....B.A in applied psychology or B.A in clinical psychology?
Hi
BA in applied psychology is the course which involves the theories, experiments and principles related to psychology which discuss the problems and solve in other fields and areas. Clinical psychology is the course which is done in the psychological field. Therapist, counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist are the ones who did clinical psychology and help an individual to come out from depression , anxiety etc. BA applied Technology include careers such as individual organisation career, forensic psychology , sports psychology etc. Clinical Psychology include options such as private practice and psychiatric facilities. Both of the fields are good , in whichever field you have interest you can take that.
I hope you got the answer.
All the best for your future!

What exam is to be given to become a clinical psychologist if you have medical in classes 11th and 12th?
Of course NEET is an ALL India Common Entrance examination to all the medical courses of India may it be MBBS BDS BAMS BHMS BVPT or BPT. And for psychologist, you need to do MD in that field after completion after your MBBS. So NEEt is your initial target.
Thank you. Best wishes.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and psychologist?
The difference between a psychiatrist and psychologist are
psychiatrist is a trained doctor and prescribe the medicines and give detailed treatment to the patients, also a psychiatrist practice for almost 4 years with adults, children in a hospital in general and give medications to the patients.
Psychologist helps in treating the mental and emotional characteristics changes of a person like psychotherapy. Psychology clinics are set up for treatments.
psychologist can do after PhD and more studies about the psychological evolvement in human psychology and focus on psychological therapy and behavioural therapy.
So both are not the same. One is a practised medic and other one is a professional counsellor and helps to stabilise human emotions.
Hope you get it,Thank you
Please Help मैं इलाहाबाद विश्वविद्यालय से दर्शन, मध्यकालीन इतिहास और हिंदी से बी ए प्रथम वर्ष का छात्र हूं पर अब Psychology के प्रति रुचि उत्पन्न हुई। क्या मुझे M. A. में Psychology मिल सकती है जबकि मेरी बी ए में Psychology नहीं है और अगर मिल गई तो क्या मैं Psychologist बनने के लिए मान्य रहूँगा?
Yes, you surely can get MA Psychology . There are various universities that offer the MA Psychology course and do not need the BA psychology for admission. Some of them are Delhi University, BHU , JMI etc. However, most of the universities conduct entrance tests for which you need to go through the BA psychology syllabus a bit. And yes, you can practice counseling psychology after these.
