People sometimes experience intense, emotional distress which they feel that they need help with in order to improve. In such circumstances, they commonly seek help from a clinical psychologist. Psychology is the science of how people behave, think and feel. Clinical psychologists have a psychology degree plus two or three years of further training for another degree or diploma. They are specialists in applying psychological theories and methods (therapies) to the mental health problems which people can experience. A description of the general scope of their work is given here.
