Changing Your Mind with Psychology

Recent events in my life have lead to me to take an interest in psychology and psychiatry, more out of curiosity than anything else. I know almost nothing about these fields other than that they attempt to treat disorders of the brain and mind. I’ve heard of some of the disorders, like schizophrenia, ADD and manic-depression, but I know very little about them. So I decided to take a closer look at what this field has shown us about the least understood aspect of ourselves: our own mind.
