Answer: Psychology is the study of human behavior.If you are interested to know the intricacies involved in why an "x" behaviour elicits a "y" behaviour and what could be the other possible reactions you would enjoy psychology. For a career, you need to do undergraduation follwed by postgraduation and then move forward to specialising in the field of your choice. The major fields are Industrial psychology, School psychology, Clinical Psychology, Social psychology, Counseling psychology. You can opt for the subject alongwith commerce and then take up BA (Psycho)Hons/Pass course and move forward. For clinical psychology you need to go for M.Phil in clinical psychology from NIMHANS/ABHAS(reputed) and any other institution offering M.Phil.
