Do psychology students tend to choose that field of study because they have issues themselves?
When one has experience with conditions that are studied through the psychology field it not only builds a connection with them but it makes them more understanding to others which is essential in such a field of study. It’s different to merely be interested in psychology on pure interest-which is a lot of people, but when you’ve seen things and felt them first hand it puts a new perspective on everything and could make it a very comfortable and easy study, not to mention a highly attractable career.
