Hi everyone!

This time i want to talk about a topic from my career: mental health. 

Well, are many things that we can talk about it, but  i want to take advantage of this space to talk about the mental health in Chile. 

The first thing that i think is good to mention is that Chile doesn't have good plans for the mental health how as recommended by the OMS. The OMS says the at least 5% of the health budget needs to be allocated to mental health entities and plans, but that doesn't happen in our country. 

The consequence of that is the high rates of mental illness in the society. The most common mental illnesses in Chile are depression, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder. 

For this reason, i think it is important to think about the crucial role that psychologists play in our society, collaborating with the mental health and the general wellbeing of people. 

 To finish, i want to say that i'm happy to study psychology because it makes me feel good to think that in the future i will also be able to help with mental health of the society!

    I'm happy for you, I like study this career too, and I always thinking that I will help people with their problems, so that encourages me to continue to forward. The government of our contry it's not worried about the mental health of people, the politicians only want that we continue working and working all day including in the pandemic. I hope that this situation change with the time, and as you said, the psychologist have a crucial role in our society worrying about the mental health of the people, and I would like to collaborating in the society in the future like a psychologist, that's one of the reasons I study psychology.

    I agree with you, I think that in every country the autorities have to create plans to promove mental health and prevent all the consequences that could happen to society if not.

    It is very sad that in our country mental health is not valued as it should. That is why we must be the best psychologists to improve that situation.

Hello again everyone! I hope you´re good💜.  This week's topic is "Time travel to the future",  i don´t really like to think about the future, because it makes me anxious, but it's an interesting topic to talk about.  If i have to choose a moment of my future i would like to travel, i think it would be my 25 years. I know there isn't much difference between now and 5 more years, but actually i wouldn't like to spoil me my life hahaha.  I don't know where i will be in the future, i will probably continue living with my parents or living alone, i'm not sure. But, if i can choose, i would like to be on an exchange trip in the south of the country, i'm really in love with the south (i dream of traveling to Angelmó again).  If all goes well, i will also be finishing my carreer. Even when it makes me anxious to finish my studies of psychology, i am excited to think about my future work, i hope i can help in the society.  Actually, i wouldn't like to ...

 Hi again everyone! I hope you and your family are well.  This is the last blog of the semester, so i'm very happy! The topic of this week is challenges of english.  First of all, I want to talk about my experience with the english that I learn at university. Even when I had a high expectation of english, I have not had the opportunity to learn the language as I would like. I believe that the fault of that is the precarious preparation of the academic programs and the commitment of the teachers with the learning of the students. Even when i did every blog we had to do for the class, i have to say that i don't like the use of the blogs for the class, at least the way we have to do it. Of course, i wouldn't think that way if only the teacher gave us a feedback on our work.  Anyway, since right now i don't enjoy the development of the english class, and i feel like i'm not learning, i can't even tell what aspects i would like to improve, that is sad i guess.  At le...

 Hi again everyone!  The topic of this week is one of my favorite, we need to talk about our pets. If someone asks me if i prefer cats or dogs, i will choose cats without thinking. All my life i grew up with animals like cats, dogs and birds. But i always felt that i have a special relationship with cats, i feel that they can be a great support in life.  Right now i have three new kitties, and i love them very much. Even when they make me worry and don't let me have my classes in calm, i wouldn't change them for nothing.  This is Nemo, we adopted him in September 2020, he's a beautiful tabby orange with white, and he's 9 months old right now.  This is Milo, we adopted him in February 2021, he's a gorgeous roman cat, right now he's only 4 months old (he likes to be on my shoulders when i'm eating or studying).  The last of the kittens is Shiro, we recently adopted him in March, he is cute white angora kitten, he's only 3 moths old (my mom love him for his...
