A lot of peple were asking me what Sam Moralesโ diagnosis is. Psychologists are not supposed to diagnose someone whom we have not examined. Thatโs unethical. We can not base our diagnosis solely on Jzanโs narrative.
Overheard: "Madali lang kaya ang psych."
In my head: "How could it be easy if what we do is to measure something that does not occupy space and has no mass?" ๐๐๐
Remember:
An episode of major depression is not required in the diagnosis of Bipolar I but it is required in the diagnosis of Bipolar II.

At the end of the day, itโs your urge to be in the profession to be of help to others that matters most.
Whatever the result is, it wonโt change the fact your love for psychology is something that is worth fighting for.
Let me say it again,
Thank you for choosing Psychology.
Just because youโre not confident, doesnโt mean youโre wrong. Sometimes youโre more confident rather than correct. So whatever it is that you feel right now is valid but excessive worry is counterproductive. Worrying only makes you suffer twice.
Tapos na ba mga posts nyo? Ako naman. Char. Kidding aside.
Thank you so much our dear RGO babies for allowing me (us in RGO) to be part of your BLEPP journey! Itโs a reaffirmation of my commitment to stay in this profession!
Once again, congratulations! ๐๐พ๐

Schizophrenia is a full blown mental disorder. It may incapacitate one's judgment and rationality. They're unlikely to act according to what you instruct them to do.
I think having a rehab/clinical psychologist as part of the medical team handling COVID-19 cases would also make a difference on the lives of the patients. The stress and all negative emotions associated with it may be lessened thru psych interventions.
I don't require my students to meet deadlines even prior to this acad break. Everybody needs this. The pandemic, economic recession, calamities have been creating its toll to one's mental and physical health. Please use this opportunity to breathe, my dear students.
Salamat PUP
Do you feel like as if youโre most of the time empty or stagnated or as if something is not right but you know itโs not a mental illness coz you still function normally? In psychology, itโs called languishing. Itโs the space between depression and flourishing.
HPA axis is very active in people w/ depression. In turn, may impair the hippocampus. This is the main probable reason why the hippocampus is significantly smaller in these individuals. This mechanism had been the most extensively investigated abnormality associated with MDEs.
The Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20) is a measure of internal consistency reliability for measures with dichotomous choices. A high KR-20 coefficient (e.g., >0.90) indicates a homogeneous test.

Job evaluation is the process of determining the worth of a job. JE can be done in two phases:
1. Determining internal pay equity
2. Determining external pay equity.

Deep-seated anxiety that is rooted from early social deprivation may manifest into either devaluing or overvaluing one's interpersonal relationship.
Let's not deprive our kids of basic emotional needs, children should be taken care of during the time that they need it the most.
Convergent validity: Kung may relasyon kayong dalawa, mag-act ka na may relasyon kayo talaga
Discriminant: Kung wala kayong relasyon, wag kang mag-act na meron kasi wala nga!

We push ourselves too much. We strive to be perfect in everything that we do. We set goals that are too high and we become frustrated when we don't meet them. We always rush things. We forget to breathe. We forget to live in the here and now.
Congratulations

Even in the darkest times, remember that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. The strength you seek is already within you, waiting to be awakened. Don't give up now, for the dawn is always nearest just before the night ends.
Believe in your self!
In psychology, itโs called languishing. Itโs the space between depression and flourishing. Itโs the absence of well-being that may be a prevailing emotion you are experiencing at the moment.

, this does not change anything about you. You're still the same person who pursued Psychology degree to be of HELP to others. Continue to ignite that passion in you! No matter what..
Eriksonโs 8 stages of life has to be revisited. I mean the stage I am now and other people of my age are not just dealing with intimacy issues. You have to deal with a lot such as career, your parents getting old, fewer friends, health issues, stable income and so on.
The problem in psych profession is no matter how equipped you are with all the theories and principles, it feels like you know nothing during the time that you have to apply them.
Let me also congratulate those who were not able to make it. Taking the board exam is a courageous act already. Choosing this battle requires courage and confidence which you just did! This might not be the right time but I know it will come!
