milpool-thrillhouse asked: referring to the religious talk going on, the praying and believing that god will heal you could be acting as a placebo. that's all i view it as, as i dont believe in any form of god or deity :)

Anonymous asked: So. I made a quick replacement for the shadow icon that may work better until someone else comes up with something.

If you want to use it, I uploaded it here:

sawtooth: Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. In Cosmos: A Personal Voyage Sagan claimed that Heikegani crabs occasional...

Agree or disagree?

It's another "Let's talk mental health" day.

writtenatrandom: Click through any and all of the following links to find some interesting reads: National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) - Psychiatry: Where are we going? Washington Post - Have we misunderstood mental illness? US News: Health - Study ranks mental health as young people’s top health problem. Healthy Place Blog - I’ve told the world I have depression. Now what?

thanatesque: In psychology and cognitive science, a memory bias is a cognitive bias that either enhances or impairs the recall of a memory (either the chances that the memory will be recalled at all, or the amount of time it takes for it to be recalled, or both), or that alters the content of a reported memory. There are many types of memory bias, including: Choice-supportive bias:...

egotisticalvomit asked: In reference to a question you just answered, my minor is in anatomy and physiology because I'm planning on going into neuropsychology. Just another idea ;D

the-id asked: About the minors: I was actually advised when I was looking at minors to take something other than another social science. A major in psychology shows that you know how to do social science. It would make you look more useful to employers or grad programs to have a minor that's a bit further away, but still useful: I was told biology, math, or computers were helpful.

nittygrittydirtylittlefreaks asked: Regarding the person who asked about minors that go along with psychology: I definitely agree that it all depends on what he/she wants to do, but I also want to add that almost any minor can work. The beauty of psychology is that it can work in almost everything in life. I was a psych major with an education minor because I want to go into educational counseling.
I think any psych major...

fromsixtomidnight asked: I love your page :3 I'm a Psych major going for addiction psychology and your page is always so interesting. Thanks :D

navicular asked: I didn't say don't go to the doctor. I said that demons can cause it. And their isn't any evidence that God heals through prayer because doctors don't but it down as a miraculous healing so there is no way that you could prove it if people refuse to recognize it.

Just because some christians decide not to go to a doctor because they believe God will heal them...

Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm not sure if you'll have the answer to my question, but I might as well ask.

I'm only 15, so of course, I haven't even gotten the chance to take psychology at my school. I'm going into my sophomore year and it's offered to only juniors and up. But, I read into psychology a lot on my own. I have my own DSM and I go through it and research...

Can you pretty please post the article? :D

navicular asked: I’m not saying that all sleep paralysis is caused by demons. And I know you’re just going to write me off as a Mr. I’m-Religious-So-I-Am-Obviously-Certified-To-Give-Advice-On-Every-Situation But it does happen to my soon to be sister in law and just because you have a degree in psychology doesn’t mean that you have the right to write of spiritual things either. You’re...

Anonymous asked: What are some good minors that work alongside a Psych major?

ashtar-sheran asked: Hello! I am studying Psychology in college but I have only taken Intro so far. However, since it interests me, I've researched and read more on it. There is this post on facebook that my friend made:

anandamideisastateofbliss asked: I live in a small town and am going to school for nursing, with a major emphasis on psychology, possibly a psych degree further down the road. What are the possibilities for psych in a small town- from nursing all the way up the spectrum?

Anonymous asked: I've always wondered...I want to work with children and do psychology.
Is there an actual job called Child Psychologist? If so what would I have to do to become one?

slvukcevich asked: How do you feel about Skinner?

Anonymous asked: Hi!
I was psychology major on another pre-health track, but I found I couldn't keep myself away from books and articles on neuropsychology as well as your blog, and I realized I'd be so much happier constantly learning and working in this field. I'm afraid I haven't any research experience in psychology and most of my undergraduate extracurricular hours and volunteering...

hearthedifference asked: Nice to see you posting things :) I followed a while back to try and get more worthwhile content on my dash but didn't see much (maybe my dash is just too congested!). But I'm glad nonetheless :)

Anonymous asked: Can you tell me about what kind of jobs are available with specialization in social psych?

Anonymous asked: I will be majoring in Psychology in the Fall, and I was wondering if there is any way to prepare in the summer? And that if I am to pursue clinical psychology, whether improving my horrid chemistry is essential?

Thanks! :]

nocturnalnurse: Feeling worried, anxious, and nervous is a normal part of everyday life. Everyone frets or feels anxious from time to time. However, when anxiety becomes overwhelming and interferes with your daily life, it is not normal. Anxiety can cause both physical and emotional symptoms. A specific situation or fear can cause some of all these symptoms for a short time. When the situation...

nicholaspondicus-deactivated201 asked: Thanks for reblogging a lot of my diseases and disorders! Psych definitely is not my preferred field in medicine, so I'm glad you corrected a few of my errors.

sprinklesofcheese asked: Thank you for the advice about studying psychology. It helps. I think I am going to major in psych. :)

Anonymous asked: Hello, I saw that last ask you received about the fields of psychology.. So, do you know anything about how competitive or tough Criminal Psychology would be, if Clinical is most competitive?
