Yet the absolute pain is I'm having all these other ideas for other stories, when really I should be finishing what I started.
What does a forensic psychologist do, exactly? I've heard of a forensics department in crime, but doesn't psychology work with the brain and neuron patterns and such? Whereas forensics in crime look at fingerprints and stuff? Either way, it sounds highly interesting. I've done a bit of psychology in my health and science classes this year, and my favourite topic, by far, to study were the mental disorders. We just did stuff like depression, bipolar, anorexia nervosa, etc. but apparently next year (since I've chose the elective) we study mass murderers brains so that we can see the brain's activity.
I'll remember that for in a few years time when it comes to me choosing a university. It may not be a deal breaker, but I'll remember it.
Exactly! I get really random ideas that do not correlate to the story I need t work on so I end up starting a new story and neglecting the one I really should be focusing on :P It's a vicious cycle!
A forensic psychologist is a psychologist that works with criminals. They assess the mental stability or insanity of a prisoner and work with rehabilitation. They often testify in courts, they just work in the criminal justice department.
Oh I love learning mental disorders!! My favorite part of Psych.
Oh that sounds SO awesome! I have never done anything like that, super jealous!!
It has the best psych department which is why I chose it. Psych staff is the best of the best, thankfully I got in from my atar :) Yeah, you don't have to worry about that yet, enjoy while you can!!
