Answer 2

I am advising against such a course of study pal. Psychology is a pseudoscience, utter quackery. Even if you do end up a mental health professional, you're under the control of the dominant ideology, psychiatry, which is even more of a pseudoscience than psychology, with managed care, there is no autonomy, there is insurance consideration forcing you to box every human distress into mindless 'disease labels' and you'll be involved in destroying childrens' lives by handing them lifelong crosses to bear... 'Jonny is ADHD'.

This is not an evidence based 'science' it is a mere dogmatic ideology, and reading some indoctrinating textbook for several years, is not going to aid you to remedy human distress, only life experience, innate compassion etc can aid you in such an endeavor.

Shrinks are called such for a reason, they shrink, or reduce, the complexities of human distress, down to mindless quackery and drivel, and then claim to be the experts on the mind. They don't know a thing and have a vested interest in perpetuating, prolonging, conflating, and making permanent, all human distress that comes over their desks.

And if you were planning on being a corporate psychologist, for job interviewing and stuff, you're just plain evil and deserve what you get.

I don't think you've looked into this enough. Stay away.

And if you're asking what the requirements are... the requirement is you swallow BS ideology on human distress created by a pack of rabid vested interest ivory tower fools who haven't alleviated a shred of  human distress in their lives.
