- Chosen by Voters Sorry I thought this was supposed to be silly.As I understand it one is in the realm of industrial-organizational (workplace) and I don't think they are really called corporate counselors I am not sure but Industrial-Organizational Psychologists (MA or PhD) and mental health counseling is a MA-degree community-based counseling dealing with mental illness and well-being. It depends on your interest and personality whether I/O is interesting to you, as far as I can tell more lucrative than your other areas of psychology but completely different environment and focus.

The most up to date book on mental health and mental health disorders is the DSM-IV (TR) 2000. The DSM is a great tool for defining and describing mental disorders that are recognized by the American Psychiatry and Psychology Association. (see link below)It is pretty easy to read and understand even for the a person who is not a psych professional. You can get the most current one at Amazon.com for $64.80 (link below).You can also get the DSM in a small handbook size that is a lot less expensive. They are also available at most libraries in the reference sections. I hope this helps.

- Chosen by Voters Hum…I don't know if it has a specific connection – it might not be the gluten, it could be things like the glycaemic index of the foods you are eating.However, there is some evidence to support that people who do not tolerate gluten well can have problems with mental health, including feeling sluggish and depressed. It may be that your body does not cope well with gluten. It could be something entirely different as well.Perhaps you could try eliminating gluten from your diet for a while.You could also have something such as seasonal affective disorder – especially considering how much closer to the poles Canada is! (and if you feel worse during winter). That is just one possible alternative explanation among many.Gluten is a possible culprit, but not the only one. Mood and diet are certainly related quite often, but it's not the only thing that may have an impact on how you feel mentally Source(s): A psychology degree, including training in psychophysiology 6 years ago 67% 2 Votes 2 people rated this as good

Sometimes, I don't cope with my own problems. It takes a lot to actually look at the advice I'm giving to clients and apply it to my own life and problems. I find it's easy to get ahead of myself and not realise that actually I need to take a step back.I've taken some time off because of recent events in my life. The hardest thing is knowing that you couldn't do enough to help someone and yes, I've had a client commit suicide. It made me question myself as a mental health worker and as a person, why I was doing this job and what I could have done to help. In the end I realised that there wasn't anything I can do, a professional can only do so much for each client. I've also suffered personal losses, which are the worst. I very recently lost my sister because she took her own life and it's upsetting to say the least. Especially seeing as I know I've helped many other people, it brings a sense of guilt that I couldn't help her. But even people working in mental health have problems and as I said, I have taken time off.I am schizophrenic myself and have, in the past, been through depression and PTSD. I am a former heroin addict and believe that I've come a long way, so I like to use that to help others. You come to a point where you can't help others if your problems are getting the better of you, in my experience. 3 years ago 4 people rated this as good i'm so sorry to hear of your losses, and i wish you strength to get through it.thank you for your answer.thanks everyone

- Chosen by Voters I think it all depends on what the mother eats or drinks. It won't cause learning disabilities, but the baby will most likely be under weight or maybe even premature.Not eating healthy will most likely harm the mother. She could get iron deficiency or gestational diabetes. She will most likely gain a bunch of unnecessary weight if she only eats junk food. I would expect her to get sick more than pregnant women who eat healthy. 2 years ago 100% 1 Vote 4 people rated this as good

It depends. Sometimes listening to sad music can be a source of comfort. If you've experienced loss, disappointment, betrayal,….any of the myriad of negative events that we all live through over the course of a life, finding music that expresses your feelings allows you to let go of them. It can also be a source of comfort because it allows you to realize that you're not alone; that others understand and share your sorrow. But at some point the relief you may feel from the music perpetuates your feelings rather than assuages them. That's the danger: in time they may become a self-fulfilling source of your outlook on life. I think you should try very hard to understand why you listen to the music you do, and what effect it has on your mood. If it isn't a source of comfort but something you cling to to corroborate your belief that life is essentially pain and/or sorrow, you should change your listening habit and it may very well change your outlook. That may seem simplistic, but it's psychologically true. In my religion there's a saying,"Act as if you have faith and faith will be given to you." Try to find the good and the positive in life and you will. 2 weeks ago Thanks

The depression could probably be treated; it's the "problems with peers" that will prevent you from holding a job as a nurse. You are constantly being overseen and evaluated, because nurses are on the front lines when it comes to patients.I changed my family doctor, because of the hospital with which he was affiliated.My last stay, the nurses were fighting amongst themselves and failed to respond to patients' who needed meds. etc..I would have to call my daughter-in-law and have her call the nurses station, from her home, to get the nurses to help me. I am not a "difficult" patient, either, but I was very sick. Source(s): I am a biologist who has taught nurses. 2 years ago It kind of gives me real inside look on what a nurse does.
