I don't really blame her because that's almost 99 percent views of Nigerians on Psychology as a course study. Psychology is a very nice course to study but before you can get work you have do your masters degree in any field in psychology.

People are hurting themselves with drugs, the question remains is do they want the treatment or not...

I know a lot of health bloggers who stopped posting things about Nigeria and focused on America bedcause Nigerians know that health is wealth but don't care... They keep living their lives until disease nack them... In America therapists/psychologists are very important nad even the poorest of the poor have them.... The question I want to ask you is if you have ever visited one in your life... they are the ones that help with relationship, family and personal problems...
this is OPs question biko

You already have your first patient.

Your success or failure in your chosen career path, will depend on your abilities to use your acquired know-hows to convince her otherwise.
Re: My Mum Wants Me To Stop Psychology In School Due To Fear Of Madness by Alphaman007: 10:46pm On Apr 17, 2018
Op that's an area of Psychology.... Clinical psychology.. And they work closely with psychiatrists to diagnose and treat mental disorders.. There are other areas of psychology not necessarily associated with studying mental disorders e.g industrial etc.... This is what you need to let your mum kmow.. And I've noticed serious misconceptions about not so popular disciplines like psychology... And serious work needs to be done to enlighten Nigerians... I'm a psychology graduate hoping to further my degree in clinical psychology or neuropsychology... Peace...

Nawa so everyone would be unemployed after school.Speak for yourself some people have plans either they learn a skill or start up a business.Government cannot employ everyone you create jobs for yourself.
Why would you go to higher institution of learning if at the end you would end up learning skills? Not schooling doesn't stop education. After high school, university is not meant for everyone.you could have learnt skill after high school; that doesn't decrease your chances of making it in life if you know what you're doing.
People keep following the crowd. I know you could argue that going to higher institution of learning increases one's chance of meeting new people and all.

What are you saying? undecided You misunderstood my post.
I talked about having a skill which could come after high school or after the university.
Formal education is important whether it is just for certificates or not.

OP, I'm totally disappointed in you.

As a psychologist this is the first test you should have passed long time ago.

So, at this point you want to start afresh?

Be serious with your studies if that course was actually destined for you.

Dear op, Is your mom a Christian? Is she religiously inclined? Is she a believer? If ‘yes’. Talk to your pastor..he can help you talk to her. Pastors have their way of brain washing members of their churches. She would give him a listening ear. Cheers..
Ps: I’m a Social Worker..(Msw)...it’s fun working with the psychiatric patients..had a lil experience at the Lambo unit/ward at UCH.

The more people keeps discouraging her about the bad side of the course, the more she keeps discouraging and frustrating me to rewrite JAMB and choose another course. Meanwhile, she can't read nor write. She has a very strange mentality that can't be changed even if you advice her till 100 years to come.

Please, what should I do? Should I quit or just continue my stuff?

You have your first client as a Psychologist.
Your ability to convince here to see reasons why you want to study Psychology wins you your first clientele.
Goodluck with that..
