I find psychology interesting actually. I'm taking Psych II for my senior year in high school.

The basics of the brain and mental disorders and, of course, the study of psychology itself. Psych II will go into more detail.

Hey, I took Psych 101 last fall. However, it was the more chemical/physical component of psychology, whereas Psych 102 (which I didn't take) was more of the stuff like handwriting indicating personality traits, etc. We mostly focused on stuff like the history of psychology, the experiments done by those scientists, and other things like nerve stimulation, hormones, and conditioning.

I kind of dabble in psychology as a hobby, stemming mostly from a desire to understand various mental illnesses — especially my own bipolar disorder. I also find general behavioural studies fascinating.

Ah, psychology. It was actually my college major for a while (I decided that being a psychologist would not be a very good career for someone suffering with severe depression, among various other mental problems), but I still find it fascinating. The human mind is an amazing and complex thing! I love learning about how it will do certain things to protect the "sanity" of the rest of itself.
