Psychology Degrees (continued from top)

In the past, when people were in therapy for a mental illness, society didn't want to know about it. In fact, mental illness was stigmatized, and if you were labeled as mentally ill, you could have found yourself ostracized in society. Today, much is still not known about mental illness, but the social stigma attached to it has lessened by a large extent. Many people are comfortable telling others that they are in therapy for depression or other types of mental illness, and companies even allow their workers to take time of for therapy sessions or 'mental health' days.

Because mental health is encouraged by society, psychologists are seeing a rise in those who come to them for help. Because of this, and because insurance companies are starting to pay more of the therapy bill, demand for psychologists has increased. If you were thinking about becoming a psychologist, now is a perfect time to earn your psychology degree.

If you want to be a practicing psychologist, you'll probably end up needing three degrees'an undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate. Most states require practicing psychologists to hold doctorate degrees. If you don't have a doctorate psychology degree, but need to earn an income in order to complete your studies, there are many research and clinician jobs you can find that only require a bachelor's or master's degree.

Although earning the necessary psychology degrees can be time consuming, the rewards you can experience through helping others achieve mental health are worth the effort.
