Is being a psychologist??

Question

have a lot of work involved??

like taking work home?

Answer 1

Balance is something that is learned over time.  Any career will bring "work home".  The issue that social workers and psychologists must deal with is to not get too involved with their clients, as it can get depressing,  I have seen several collegues leave the profession as they could not deal with the stress.  Balance, important.

Answer 2

i dont think you do, but you have to study the way the brain works, mental illnesses, medicine, and once you become a phycologist you must study the way your patient is.
