      Psychology is absolutely brilliant! The beauty of psychology is that there are so many disciplines within it! You can look at forensic psychology , health psychology , criminal psychology , clinical psychology , cognitive psychology , social psychology , individual differences psychology and so many other branches of psychology! What makes psychology even better is that within these disciplines, there’s almost unlimited possibilities. In health psychology for example, you could look at anything from palliative care experiences, to the influence relationships have on health. Or you could look at models exploring factors related to stopping certain behaviours (e.g. smoking) or you could look at the experiences of medical staff during COVID-19. These are just a few ideas and there are so many more!! So in answer to your question, yes psychology is fun and interesting and one of the ways it does this is through the whole range of things you can look at – there really is something for everyone!
