Myth № 1. Psychologist is a psychic who feels and sees people inwardly.
Actually psychologists have no relations with psychics, magicians, astrologers, numerologists, palmists. A psychologist is a higly qualified professional who specialises in the study of human mind and behaviour.
Myth № 2. Psychologist is a doctor. Only people with mental health problems can visit a psychologist.
It  is completely wrong to confuse a psychologist with a psychiatrist. Psychiatrist is a medical doctor who treats people with mental issues by prescribing certain medications. But psychologists  work with healthy people, help them to deal with temporary difficulties they face in their lives and guide them to find a right  solutions.
Myth № 3. Why should we consult a psychologist. It is possible to discuss problems with friends and family members.
Surely it is possible! Friends or family can be good sources of support, but talking with them may not always be affective, and it could even involve some risks. Because they show the same sensitivity to your feelings,  therefore they cannot approach the situation objectively. But psychologists are neutral  and don’t have any preconceived notions about you and have no personal investment in your life.
Myth № 4. Psychological services are too expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.
Psychological services are not expensive at all compared to services provided by specialist in other fields. (Example: doctors, lawyers and etc.)
