It's an interesting class to take for a semester, but anyone that majors in it is really just trying to figure themselves out. All the people with psych degrees are usually the most messed up, they think the more they learn the more they might figure out their own problems. Then they graduate, and tell other people whats wrong with them...it's healthy, I swear

is generally defined as the science of behavior and mental processes and the application of the resulting findings to the solution of problems.

An outdated and mostly useless methodology which is entirely based on the mistaken belief that individuals’ chronic negative emotions are legitimate. They are not. Labeling those states as ‘depression’, ‘OCD’, or anything else only makes the situation worse. In reality they are nothing but bad habits learned in childhood. Listening to someone drone on and on about some unhappiness they experience chronically is not helpful. Instead it is enabling and reinforcing.
It is true that someone can have an isolated situation that results in genuine unhappiness, but any chronic negative emotion is not real. This is what should be explained to individuals with the bad luck (which is most people to some degree) to have this dysfunction. If they understood it was a bad habit perpetuated by [feel-think] they could, instead practice [think-feel] and, let it go. Of course they would have to be willing to give up the second-hand love they get from others who perpetually offer them some sort of [payoff] for being unhappy. Anyone who reads this, is able to get it, and actually wants to get better should read “[Conscious Neuroplastic Mediation]: The Next Step in the Evolution of Human Conscious” by James LaFerla for a description of specific techniques to use.
