Question by Know One: Chose masters degree in psychology or counseling?
I’ll graduate with my BA in psychology next spring. I knew when I started that I would need more than a BA in psych to get a job in the field. Now I’m torn between master’s programs. Should I choose a MS in psychology or in counseling? I would prefer to find work as some sort of mental health counselor, but I’m not sure which degree opens more doors.

At my nearest state university, I can get licensed through the state by taking the counseling program because it includes enough hours of on-the-job practice with professionals to qualify for licensure. However, I don’t know if a counseling degree is as widely accepted by employers as a psych degree, and I don’t know if one offers a more varied job market than the other.

Question by stitch: Do you think it is right for people with a mental illness to be labeled?
Here is the scenerio. You have a mental illness. You go to an emergency room or to a different physician other than your regular GP. You have to list the meds you are taking if any. Then the doctor wants to know why you are on the meds. You explain you have a mental illness. Then the doctor changes their whole attitude towards you and tells you that “they” believe your “health problems” are attributed to your mental illness. Or they tell you that you are not going to receive special treatment (even though you do not request to be treated any differently) just because you are mentally ill. Do you think it is right?
