Psychology : It's all in your mind !

Have you ever wondered why do you do what you want to do ? Why do you like or hate somebody ? Why you feel happy sometimes and why you get upset ? At times when you are really broke inside but why you keep on living, have you ever thought why? Well ! "the questions & their answers" all are inside your mind . It is all because of Psychology. 
A lot of people thinks psychology is a clinical thing . When they hear about psychology ,the 1st thing comes up to their mind is clinical or medical related psychology . People often mix psychology with psychiatrist. But it's a two different thing . Psychology is a  social-science interested is all behaviors and all mental processes . Unlike psychology, psychiatrist is a medical field interested in all abnormal behaviors and their treatment. In 1879, Wilhelm Wundlt opened the first psychology lab . It hasn't been a very long time since people have started knowing about psychological stuffs. The main reason why i feel the need to know more about psychology is, because  it tells me how my brain actually works . It answers all of my questions like why i feel like to do anything what i want to do . Besides I often wondered why people are thinking differently ? is it possible for people to read minds ? When i saw Twilight movie , i wanted to become a vampire like Edward Collin who could read peoples mind .Damn it, I envy him . Whatever ,it is the other reason about why i am interested in psychology . No , i am not saying if you read  psychology you can become a vampire one day , probably not ! but if you read or know about psychology than you can get a idea about what the other person is thinking from analyzing their body language or behavior . Well it is not the same as reading peoples mind but its little bit of close to it ! Here are some interesting facts about psychology that might be useful for you :
