Psychology has been my life since I was fifteen years old. After going through a bout of depression and suicide attempts with a few stays in a hospital, the idea of studying the human mind has intrigued my existence.
As some of the closer friends I have established on this forum know, I am currently a junior studying Psychology and Legal Issues with a minor in U.S. History. Recently, I was accepted to an interning position at the local FBI field office for my state next summer. This opportunity is extremely exciting to me. I hope that one day my degree will allow me to work with the FBI, or another criminal investigation agency, to pursue and bring to justice sex offenders who target minors.
Whether you are interested in the field, have a question about possible job opportunities with a Psychology degree, or just have a random question; please feel free to ask.
Thanks and have a great day Offtopic.

5 RepliesI've got one: If a person has a stroke, can psychology help when the brain ignores whole portions of reality? As in the person not only can't see the left side of a page, but they aren't aware that there is a left side to the page at all. And when they describe the street they live on, can only recall the buildings that are on the right side of the street. So it's not a VISUAL issue, as the recollection is from memory and imagination. Can psychology, address this problem? If not, what are the limits to what brain issues psychology can address?
