Philosophy is more likely to induce madness than psychology

The STUDY of Philosophy, yes. But statistics (in USA) show that the highest number of professionals under the care of psychiatrists/therapists are other psychiatrists! I put psychologists in that group. I have personally had an encounter with a female psycholosist who was wildly out of her mind - an experience I never wish to have again- who in her lucid moments would recount how she took an interest in studying schizophrenics while a young woman in her native country. Honestly I'd rather not even remember this story. undecided

Am an undergraduate in the University of Ibadan. I study Psychology as my course but my mum won't just allow me read the course in peace. She keeps telling and frustrating me that Psychology is the study of MADNESS.

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?

She wants you to be continually held under the delusion that the spiritual controls everything.

Psychologist successfully debunk these mythology and help ppl see the light.

Where there's no mystery, the fun dies out....

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...

No wonder you call yourself Alphaman, you've done a great job on your Psychology I guess.

I bet you prolly don't even believe in God sef...just like me... wink

When I read posts on NL and other social media sites in Nigeria, I'm forced to agree with Sagamite. The level of reasoning used in making the post is low if not non-existent. cry

What could be the problem?

Most Nigerians are some of the dumbest monkeys on Earth!
