What is Psychology and How Does It Affect My Life Essays

What is Psychology? How Does It Affect My Life? What is Psychology? The formal definition is the scientific study of behavior and mental process. Some might say it is a matter of common sense. But, that won?t get you very far in your study of psychology. I have had numerous experiences with psychologist. I have a seventeen year old daughter with Asperger?s Syndrome. She didn?t talk until she was four years old. Even then she had to have speech, occupational and some physical therapy. My ten year old son has ADHD, so we have had to meet with several psychologist regarding that. And last but not least, I myself, suffer from Bipolar syndrome. Before my daughter was actually diagnosed with Asperger?s, we had to take her to numerous psychologists. They always diagnosed her as being socially delayed. I finally got her into a psychologist that actually knew what they were talking about, and diagnosed her correctly. Since she didn?t talk they had to basically use behaviorism as their main tool to diagnose her. I have had psychology invol ved in our lives for a long time. Some of the psychologists? have helped and some have not. This is how I have had psychologists? in my life.
