A final word

As a summary to what it is like to work with psychology and psychiatry, Håkan wants to say the following:
“Psychology is a topic that everybody has an opinion about. It is something that concerns our existence. This can in many cases be rewarding, but is also a challenge. A lot of people think what you say is obvious, whereas other things are really controversial. Especially in neuropsychology it can be tricky. Like for example the fact that it sometimes seems like the genes control everything. And if you are at a genetic risk, is everything ruined then?”

Another thing you may wonder about is if being a psychologist means that you easily become overanalyzing as a private person. Håkan thinks this is not the case. “I think most people want to have their time off. But if someone should ask for advice, of course you want to help if you can.” In other words, he does not think that people in the surrounding have to be involuntarily analyzed. “It may perhaps be like that in the beginning, when you are a student and sees it a a study technique, but this behavior soon subsides,” finishes Håkan.
