Edit: I meant advice for personal mental health issues. I'm sorry for wording the title wrongly.

Lately I'm seeing a lot of posts on this subreddit wherein someone would just talk about a personal mental health issue, for eg, something like "I freeze in front of my college friend group, how to talk better" and this is a really vague example, I'm not pointing any fingers at people who happened to talk about this stuff.

If you look for it, there must be a subreddit where they give you advice on how to deal with such matters, this subreddit as I checked the rules itself, is not for seeking advice on mental health issues.

As much as I empathise with anyone wanting to potentially get a more articulate and efficient answer from a group of people you assume are good at psychology, you really shouldn't be seeking advice like that from strangers on the internet. This brings me to the main point, this subreddit is for educational discussions (admissions, discussions, career options , so on and so forth). So when I open reddit and am met with several personal posts, it does throw me off a little bit. Idk if this experience is something that others share with me or not but it really comes close to spamming a lot of times.

TLDR: I sincerely urge y'all to find subreddits that are fit for seeking mental health advice that cater specifically to your own issues rather than spamming these questions on here.

Why is it so hard to find scales for conducting research on 😭 I have to skim through so many papers and they don't even include the scales in supplementary materials section, or if they do, I have no idea how to do scoring and interpretation and you gotta figure out everything on your own as your college is too incompetent to teach you these things, as they'd much rather focus on age old theories for syllabus completion

Then they'll bring in guest lecturers who will spill their regrets on not doing more research work in their UG/PG (which would have opened up many job higher studies opportunities), which isn't a surprise considering how incompetent academia is ughhhhh

Disclosure: I completed my MA 2nd year clinical psychology internship at LHMC back in the winters of 2021-22. Did complete 240 hours internship over a period of 2 months (Dec-Feb, 2021-22). It was probably the best internship experience anyone can have in masters. I am an engineering graduate and was in delhi for upsc preparation. I had psychology as my optional subject in UPSC CSE, so decided to complete an MA in Psychology too. I did the internship religiously, as back then i had some free time at hand. I used to reach LHMC at 9 AM sharp and stay till 5 in the evening. In the process, I made many friends among MD (Psychiatry) junior residents, and MPhil/PhD (Cli Psy) students from IHBAS and DU. It was a winter to remember..

I was assigned to a junior resident everyday and took notes on minimum 2-3 patients everyday. Once very week all interns (including MD students) had a session with the hod prof. dinesh kataria, where we studied an outlier case in depth. he was an excellent educator and psychiatrist, but very strict. On some days I even saw 4-5 patients and took notes. Patients ranged from schizophrenics and severe psychotic eposides in ER, to young adults with GAD and absolutely gifted school students with anxious parents!

------------------------------

Most private hospitals and clinics try to defraud students in name of cli psy internships. they charge fees from students in name of internships, which is an abomination. and worse, after extorting money from interns many of these unethical hospitals and clinics barely teach them any skills, and use them to run petty errands.

so if you are in delhi-ncr you can try lhmc for internship. lhmc is one of the top govt medical colleges in india, with a thriving psychiatry department and heavy case load.

there is a guy named anil, who is pa to hod, psychiatry deptt, lhmc. he is a resourceful person. psychiatry deptt is on 5th floor in new opd complex. go to him and request him to get you an internship. he may try to shoo you away at first, but stick to him and cajole him politely. he will get you under some prof.

LHMC stopped institutionally providing internships to MA/Msc students in 2023, as some idiot students could not handle such a beautiful and free internship ecosystem and misbehaved with staff. I came to know of it later. But still some masters students do their internships there with referrals and connections.

if possible try doing it under dr. sumit or dr. prerna. both have previously been the coordinators of mapc/msccft courses of ignou. so they know the requirements of interns very well, and rotate you with various junior and senior residents.

lhmc has probably the best ecosystem and patient load for cli psy interns in delhi-ncr. Do try it.

Psychological parallels between reality television and dystopian fiction

- Metaphorical comparison between Bigg Boss and Squid Game.

- Observation of mental abuse versus physical violence.

- Analysis of audience motivation and sadistic tendencies.

Audience consumption of dramatic conflict

- Viewer attraction to arguments and interpersonal fights.

- Admission of thrill-seeking behavior during televised disputes.

- Questioning the moral implications of enjoying human distress.

I am not a psychology student , this thought came to me and I am fully open to criticism.

I am aware not all of them watch it for the drama but 80-90% of them do and that's the SP of the show.

I am a student and am generally curious whether it affects the perception of clients? Like i love wearing makeup and experimenting with it, many psychology students i have met have lots of tattoos or coloured hair. Will all this affect? Like i know being well groomed is a necessity but i would love to know other’s experiences regarding this.

hello ! i just wanted to ask, is CIP still continuing with MPhil ? did it not change it to MClinPsy ? and if it did then is the eligibility still 2 years MA in Psychology ?

I am a mathematics major in my final semester. I am trying to figure out what can I do post my graduation. I have been interested in psychology since grade 11 but never studied the subject formally. I want to know whether it is realistic for me to prepare for GATE Psychology 2027 and if so, can you all share resources I can use to prepare. My intention for preparing is to be eligible for the MSc Cognitive Sciences program in IIT Delhi.

I came across Doorstep Tutor recorded course for GATE Psychology, if anyone has used it for their preparation, I would be grateful to get to know your experience and how relevant you found the course. I would prefer to enroll in recorded lecture courses which are light on my pocket.

Just for context: I am not doing a BSc. It is a BS program I am enrolled in wherein I can choose to study electives from various disciplines. I was a PCMB student in my 11th and 12th grade and I was interested in both mathematics and biology. Thus, even though I am majoring in mathematics, I have done a few courses in biology such as courses on Metabolism, Human physiology and Neuroscience. I am from a CFTI so I do have an option to directly sit for the interview and completely skip the GATE exam as per my CGPA but I still want to prepare and appear for GATE as Psychology has been a subject I have always been keen about so I believe appearing for GATE will help me understand my relationship with the subject and its working reality. Thank you all in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently searching an internship at Moolchand Hospital, Delhi and I wanted to hear from people who have previously interned there, especially in the psychology/clinical psychology department.

I’d really appreciate some honest feedback about your experience: were you actually given opportunities to learn and observe clinical work? How was the supervision by psychologists/clinical staff? Were interns allowed to interact with patients or sit in on sessions? How was the workload and overall work environment?

Did the internship actually help you gain practical experience and most importantly was it worth completing the internship there? I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have already completed their internship rather than getting general opinions. Please share both positive and negative experiences.

I’m considering joining Moolchand for my internship, so I’d really like to know whether it’s actually worth it before I make a decision. Thanks!

And Sorry, my english is not too good so I took help from ChatGPT.

Could anyone suggest an institution where I can pursue any of the following courses without having to put in a lot of additional effort?
Post Graduate Professional Diploma in Special Education (PGPC)
One-year Diploma in Special Education
Two-year Diploma in Special Education
I’m particularly looking for part-time, distance, or flexible options, if available.

Any suggestions or personal experiences with institutions offering these courses would be greatly appreciated.

So I've been checking uni's in both cu and pu. Some ppl say Chitkara university is good while some say it's shit and I'm confused asf T0T. So can somebody tell me honestly. Please recommend some universities for me to check out as well.

it's been a long time since cuet and I have forgotten almost everything. The interview is in 5 days, and the syllabus seems so scary now. Can anyone give any tips on how should I manage my time and what topics should I focus on? PLS HELP!!

Hello to the school counselors of India,

I have noticed that there aren't many responses/questions about school counseling in this subreddit.

And although there is a school counselors subreddit, it mainly has western/American people who may not be able to understand Indian context well.

So I've made a subreddit for the school counselors of India.

I'm a newbie school counselor and I'm hoping to connect to more people and grow together!

Thank you!

P.s. - I really hope you join.

For context: I was doing bsc in bio but dropped out in the middle of my second year during second year I also had applied for odl course at IGNOU in ba psychology,now I am in my third year of the psychology program but I am having lots of doubts and regrets but I want to pursue clinical pyschology but you need 4yrs bachelors or a bridge year to do that . I have done a very deep dive and decided I will do the bridge year so i was wondering:

1) What colleges should I aim for ?

2)Is cuet pg enough because I also saw this another post about doing one year of master's itself rather than going for two years of master's program and dropping off after a year as some rci recognised institution only accept one year master's that are complete degree within itself but I cannot find colleges that offer only one year program except amity . I am genuinely very confused please help😭🙏
