Don't think psychology is out of your reach just because you're not wealthy. There are plenty of mental health services available for people of more modest means, some of which are offered on a county, state, or federal level. Sometimes, payment is based specifically on how much you can afford.

You can practice your own form of psychology care by taking care of yourself physically, valuing yourself, dealing with stress appropriately, surrounding yourself with good people, by setting realistic goals in life, and by calming your mind through meditation or prayer.

A specialist in child psychology can be very effective in helping you work through any problems your child might have. For example, if you suspect your child has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), it's best to have them tested by a psychologist to rule out learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues.
