Mm B asked:
I’m 18, and will soon be starting college. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do then something that has to do with psychology.. and I think I’ve made my mind up that I want to be a Psychotherapist.I’ve been told it will take a min. of 6 years to become one, but I’m wondering what all kinds of classes will i have to take?
Also, any information on the occupation would be helpful.

As an undergraduate, get your BA or BS degree in anything that interests you. Be sure you include lots of classes in the Social Sciences: Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, and the Humanities, preferably.
You then have the choice of getting a Master’s degree in a field such as Marriage and Family Therapy, Drug & Alcohol Counseling, or School Psychology (for an Educational Psychologist license) so you could get a license as that and work in that field.
Your chances for success are better if you get a Ph.D. or an Ed.D. in Psychology. Then, you can go for a license in Clinical Psychology, and work in the medical fields. Lots of the Ph.D. programs nowadays have special programs, 5-6 years from Bachelor’s to Ph.D., skipping the Master’s or getting it as you go along. That saves you money and time!
Good luck! We need good psychotherapists, always!!

One thing I’d really like to reply to is that weightloss routine fast is possible by the suitable diet and exercise. Someone’s size not merely affects appearance, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, major depression, health risks, and physical ability are damaged in an increase in weight. It is possible to make everything right but still gain. If this happens, a medical problem may be the culprit. While a lot food and not enough body exercise are usually guilty, common health conditions and widespread prescriptions could greatly add to size. Many thanks for your post here gywl512.
