Truths about psychologists: 14 unexpected answers (video)

March 24 is recognized as World Depression Day. This is a great opportunity to talk about mental health and dispel the myths that still exist about psychology.

Some still believe that only "seriously ill" people seek help from psychologists, while others are afraid of being "sent to a mental hospital" after a consultation. But is this really the case?

In the Sputnik Uzbekistan column, family and crisis psychologist Sofia Hasanova answers the most common questions about psychology, fear, therapy and its cost.

“It is encouraging that recently the attitude towards psychology and psychiatry in Uzbekistan has been changing in a positive direction. People are turning to specialists more often, rather than ignoring their problems for years,” the expert says.

Among the most common psychological problems, he highlights the anxiety and stress that arise during the race after success.

“Social media creates the illusion that everyone around them is better, more successful, and richer... It makes people very nervous. But before chasing other people's goals, it's important to ask yourself: what do I want? What would make me truly happy? — she says.

Is it true that psychologists themselves are prone to stress? Can they diagnose? When should you consult a specialist and how can this change your life?

You will find the answers to these and other questions in the Sputnik Uzbekistan video.
