Question: could you tell me more about what clinical psychology is please?

Dennis Relojo-Howell answered on 5 Mar 2021:

Clinical psychology is a subfield in psychology which focuses on the prevention and treatment of mental disorders. I’m doing a PhD in clinical psychology and my research looks into whether we can use blogs to identify depressive and anxiety symptoms among adolescents to manage suicidal thoughts (that’s the prevention bit). Part of my project also explores whether we can use blogs to enhance resilience among vulnerable adolescents (that’s the treatment bit). Clinical psychology – just like most of the subfields in psychology – is a glorious blend of theory, research, and application.
