Frequently Asked Questions WHY SEE A PSYCHOLOGIST?
Clinical Psychologists are highly trained professionals who help diagnose and treat a variety of human problems. Some of these problems, such as depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties, are clearly psychological in origin. Other problems seem more physical, but may be caused or made worse by psychological factors. These include chronic pain, high blood pressure, and sexual dysfunction. A third group of problems that may be helped with psychological interventions are health-threatening behaviors such as smoking and over-eating.
