Hi. I’m a 4th year psych major with a minor in Sociology. I’ve read many articles in which people with pysch majors alone or with not-so-diverse minors aren’t finding jobs pertaining to what their degree was intended for. I don’t want to go into Social Work due to my sociology minor so I may change it. Also, I plan to attend a massage therapy school to diversify myself [and to also have a decent paying job so I can pay my way through graduate school]. Can someone tell me what a good option for a minor [that may make me some $ in the future]? And also can I get a list of the top colleges with a great Psychology/Therapy graduate program?

Im looking into becoming a pediatric physical therapist and will major in health science but am not sure if minoring in psychology or biology would be a better route to take.

Any ideas and helpful advice please?

You need to make sure you get a great gpa. Minors are not required. If you are intersted in peds, you may want to take some intro to spec ed, or child development courses. I am generally not a fan of bio majors but since you already need a 4 semesters of bio for gen bio and A and P. You may want to take an advanced anatomy with cadaver disection, neural science, exercise physiology, I might consider it.

I’m a junior in high school, and I have a question. I’ve been looking at a lot of organizations, most of which support teen suicide prevention, which of course is an amazing and admirable and well worth supporting cause. But all the websites promote "mental wellness" and stuff in teens…

I have some really bad problems with anger, and when I am really angry I have some thoughts that scare me (not suicidal). I got so angry and upset with my dad that I sort of ran away this summer, I didn’t have any plan to never come back or anything, I didn’t really plan it at all, I just sort of did it. It only lasted a day though..I also get depressed and I get caught up in stupid stuff about my life, and even though I lost a lot of poundage two years ago I’m constantly worrying about my weight and I don’t eat very much anymore at all (not like eating disorder status, just a lot less than most kids my age.) I have a weird social life; I have a good amount of friends but I’m just starting to change it, because I went to a different school freshman year and I get frustrated with the girls who were my core group of friends last year…for the most part they’re really apathetic and we never hang out because they’d rather stay home by themselves, when I want to go have fun and I like people.

So those are a lot of my issues. It sounds pretty bad in writing, but I find that a lot of kids have lives with problems sort of like this or just problems of their own. I find that I deal with it a lot better if I just stay present and take life as it comes, which is what I’m trying to do. And there are plenty of times when I’m just happy; I’m talking to someone I like or doing something I enjoy and you know, I’ll just feel happy like anyone else.

So I was wondering if there’s really such thing as being "mentally healthy". Is there anyone who is just happy, and doesn’t have to deal with stuff like this? I feel like it’s kind of a myth to just be "happy" period. The only thing is, I’ve only got fifteen years of insight…anyone think I’m right? Wrong? I really want to hear other perspectives.

Yes, being mentally healthy is definitely possible. The thing is, bad things will always happen-that’s the nature of life but an emotionally healthy person will have good coping mechanisms and negative events and periods don’t have to drag a person’s whole life down generally.

I do know people who have very good luck, starting with being born into very wealthy, stable family lives which gave them a good start to life, they went to good school then good universities and don’t have to money worries. Some people don’t like to initiate change in their life and stay in their comfort zone. That also reduces going through tough times as they don’t expose themselves to challenging situations which have potential to cause stress or go wrong. No one can avoid bad times fully though.

Many people experience mild mental health problems during their life and overcome it. Even with severe and enduring mental illness people can learn to manage symptoms and have a good quality of life in spite of them.

At your age the things you talk about experiencing are perfectly normal, so don’t worry. You talk about about your technique of coping with things so keep on with that. Just enjoy and make the most of good times. Talk to someone responsible you trust if you need support. Things will become more settled as you get older

Is society a positive or negative influence in these dimensions of health? Support your decision by explaining the ways society influences people.

The household you grow up in makes all the difference. If you live in a household which encourages right and is there for you, most things will be well in your life. But if the media, not your family, is your view on the world, you grow up seeing violence, murder, and other nasties, never really being told that they are wrong. Society influences people like a potter influences clay. If he takes the time to mold it into something great, and bakes it in an oven, then you will have something great. But if he leaves his half-creation in the elements, and lets it bake while being rained on, leaves blowing into it, getting all muddy; then he will have half, no- a quarter- of the creation that he could have had.

Music psychology is a sub-discipline of musicology. Music psychology can shed light on non-psychological aspects of musicology and musical practice. For example, music psychology contributes to music theory by investigating the perception of musical structures such as melody, harmony, tonality, rhythm, meter, and form. Research in music history can benefit from psychologically inspired, systematic study of the history of musical syntax, or from psychological analysis of the personalities of composers in relation to the psychological effect of their music.

Music therapy is an interpersonal process in which a trained music therapist uses music and all of its facets—physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual—to help clients to improve or maintain their health.

I’m 19 years old and for the past 5 years I’ve noticed that I have many tics which include clearing my throat and sniffing about 50 times a day even when I’m not sick. I just get this feeling in my throat that I need to clear it. I also pull at my clothes every day, turn my neck, and make strange facial twitches with my eyes, nose, and mouth. And for some reason I feel the need to touch certain objects just to see what they feel like. I also get this urge to repeat words over and over when I mispronounce them. I can control these tics somewhat in front of other people but the hardest to control are my facial twitches. Any help?

With Tourettes, the symptoms are involuntary but some people can sometimes suppress or managew their tics in an effort to minimizetheir effort on funcitoning,. Suppressing causes a great deal of tension, until the tic must be expressed.

Many have ADHD, problems with reading writing and arithmetic, and obsessive compulsive symptoms such as intrusive throughts/worries and repetitive behaviors; depression or anxiety disorders.

Diagnosis include both motor and vocal tics for a least 1 year
