So, are there any (certified) psychologists on the boards? I want to become a psychopathologist. My interests so far include the affective disorders and schizophrenia.

I will end it there, just in case you're all Computer Science majors and think I'm crazy. :)
 
I have a masters in research psychology (developmental), but I am not a clinician.

I have worked with many grad students and professors who are though, if you had any questions I could try and help.:)

Never mind the DID, which one of us would you like to speak with?

*Niagra Falls?! Slowly I turn. Step by step*
*Knock it off, he's done typing*

Nice to meet you. :) I'm helping to set up a psychophysiology lab, later we'll be doing research on depression and anxiety. I'm not sure if research is for me, or clinical practice, teaching, etc. But I'm fairly confident it's one of those.

When did you know psychology was for you?

Hilarity. :D
 
I'm in training...I have an MS and am getting ready to do qualifying exams.... My area is mixed child and adult neuropsychology and in research I'm interested in biological bases of depression too.
 
I have the BA in psychology, but stopped there. Though I do apply a lot of what I learned in psychology for my art and concepts.

Cool! Good luck with your studying. :)

Really anyone can share, I just wanted to get a discussion going on psychology.

I take it you're an artist then? Freelance?
 
Done a quick psychology degree (well, a few more weeks until it's "done") but want to then do medicine and eventually psychiatry. I liked psychology as a course although found it was taught with too much of a theoretical bias. Schizophrenia is a pretty interesting condition to study. I'm probably going to focus more on depression and bipolar disorders. :)

I thought about psychiatry, but MD is a whole new ballgame, not sure I'd make it. Are you taking some time off, before you apply to medical school?

Yeah, six months just to save up some money. Won't have quite so much spare time when medicine starts. :(

I'm afraid of stopping, I might not be able to start again. :p
 
We're the cool people, 'cause we're up late.

We can't forget OCD, I have OCD.

I redo stuff over and over. It's a pain in the ass.

It turns out real polished though! :D
 
And there's like no treatment for it... you really have to talk yourself out of it, I guess. I find that's really tough.
