Psychological counseling is generally divided into general psychological counseling and clinical psychological counseling, which are quite different.
Clinical psychology is set up in the hospital, aiming at people who may have mental diseases, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, neurasthenia, menopausal syndrome, postpartum depression, and children will also have anxiety and depression. The consulting fee is low, more than 20 yuan each time, and senior experts will not exceed 100 yuan. Clinical psychology can be treated by psychotherapy with little cost. Generally, the fees are different according to different projects, that is, tens of yuan each time and one or two hundred yuan for senior experts. And they are all qualified doctors issued by the health department.
General psychology is not located in a hospital, but is generally called a studio, research institute or company. The general service object is not patients, but can deal with learning psychology, marriage psychology and consumption psychology. Can do psychological counseling, psychological counseling qualification certificate issued by the labor department, can not do psychotherapy. Fees are generally higher, ranging from tens, hundreds and thousands. Some fees are extremely high, which can reach tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. There is no cure. He is not a doctor yet.
So, before you want to do psychological counseling, you should think it over. What's your problem? What problem do you want to solve? Do you suspect mental illness? If you think it over, it is easy to make a choice.
It should be reminded that any disease has pathological changes, and there is no disease without pathological changes. Psychological diseases also have pathological changes, that is, the decline of brain function, imbalance of neurotransmitters, abnormal regulation of nerve function, and various clinical symptoms. Therefore, mental illness can be treated with drugs, that is, improving brain function and regulating the balance of neurotransmitters. If psychotherapy and brain function rehabilitation are added, it will be icing on the cake. Don't expect to cure anxiety or depression through psychotherapy without taking medicine. Just like don't expect to cure a pneumonia patient without taking medicine and doing ideological work.
