Leon Said:

Psychology Career with Mental Health Treated Problems?

We Answered:

Having been diagnosed with a mental illness does not mean that you can't practice as a therapist. Both of my brother and current psychiatrist have dealt with depression both now and in the past. Both of them have and still use medications to control it. My daughter who also deals with depression plans on being a psychologist when she finishes school. I think that the majority of therapist have dealt with these issues at one point in their life or another.

Jo Said:

What careers can I pursue with a degree in Psychology, Communication and minor in Health and Wellness?

We Answered:

Behavioral medicine (comes out of clinical psych programs)... looks at wellness and health behavior (diet, exercise, lifestyle, etc.), pain management, education of patients through marketing and communication, and involves some level counseling/therapy. Tough coursework but rewarding career-- also pays well. Takes a master or Ph.D.

Another option is recreation and leisure studies, which addresses all the aspects you describe and is most used in hospitals, especially with the mentally ill, nursing homes and summer camps. Again, requires at least a masters and certification to be effective and make a living at it.

Good luck!
