Question: Is psychology a complicated topic to study?

It depends on what you call complicated. I actually find that a lot of things in Psychology are easy to understand just because they are about people, so you can apply a lot of things that you read to yourself or people around you. But there are some parts in Psychology that I find quite hard to understand, especially when it comes to studying the brain (called neuropsychology) where they are actually trying to measure the electric things that are going on in your head. These electric things are meant to be your thoughts and other processes but I think it’s quite extraordinary how they come up with all that stuff just based on measuring different voltages. So that I do find quite complicated.
