A career of clinical psychologist can be considered good but it has its own challenges. Strenuous work hours in the hospitals or clinics where you have to deal with the patients who are struggling in different ways. Their condition can sometimes affect the practitioner itself. But you get the satisfaction of helping and improving some one's life who has come with lots of hope to you. The profession may seem financially challenging at start but if you have good practical knowledge, experience and passion to strive ahead, you can do wonders even in terms of earning.

Hope this helps!

Dear Sia, India has come a long distance from when Mental Illness was considered 'Demonic' to actually accepting Mental Disorders and being treated for them. Depression is no more a myth orca taboo. It is real. And with this huge step towards acknowledging holisyic well being and psychological awareness, the help of Clinical Psychologists is needed more than ever in India. And to strike a  balance between the demand for Talented Professionals and the Psychological patients, the Govt. of India has come up with many Medical Centres which have Psychological wing. We have multiple NGOs addressing this issue. We have separate hospitals and Clinics for Psychological treatment. And then lot of short term and long term courses have been introduced. So keeping this all in mind, Clinical Psychology has a very good scope and it can only get better in the coming years. You can work in a Hospital setting, or as an Individual Psychologist, or with a NGO or as a Professor in a Medical College. These are just very few options among many.
