Comment on Is Everyone An Addict? by Harry Martin

I love learning from your posts, and this was a wonderful one!

The difference between how addictive behavior versus OCD behavior stimulates different parts of the brain was quite interesting.

I also never knew that the DSM does not have a formal definition for addiction.

Thanks for the insight!

Hi Harpreet,
I am not sure what the rules are for working in the USA if you get your MA or PhD from another country. I have a coworker who did much of her psychology studies in India, but I am not sure what she needed to do in order to work here. You will at the very least need to get your license in the state you intend to work in. You might want to check out the Board of Psychology in California to see what their requirements are.

Sorry I don’t have more information for you.

Good luck in your studies!
Alisa

Hi Alisa,

I am Harpreet from India.

I watch all your videos on housewives of Beverly Hills, last one on Rresentment of housewives.. was too cool.

I am interested in psychology, and intend to do MA in Psychology. Due to doing a job, I will be able to do it through distance education program of IGNOU. Later I aim at doing PHD. Can students to do MA through distance education get acceptance for research fellowship in Universities IN USA? Also if you could suggest me if I do PHD here and then move to USA or Canada for job. Are there good opportunities?

Please suggest.

My aunt committed suicide. I observed how difficult it was for my father and her other relatives.

I was always a little confounded when I read that people contemplating suicide will sometimes appear happier before hand. But now from the class, I realize they “got off the fence” and planned action, albeit one with horribly negative and tragic consequences. Great post!
