Psychology helps to understand and deal with problems that can cause:

• Sadness, for which no objective reasons are found;
• Irritability;
• Sleep disturbances;
• Lack of motivation / energy for activities in general;
• Anxiety;
• Other changes that we cannot understand and that disturb us.

In their work, psychologists aim for the people they support to achieve:

• Well-being with themselves;
• Balance in their relationship with others and in their family and social integration.

The most common situations that may require follow-up by a psychologist are, for example:

• Inability to relate socially;
• Difficulties in affective relationships;
• Various fears (phobias);
• Difficulties and school failure;
• Difficulties and professional failure;
• Death of loved ones (grief);
• Separation from loved ones for various reasons (separated parents, ended relationships);
• Mental illnesses;
• Physical illnesses.

Psychologists work closely with other clinical professionals, especially psychiatrists, child psychiatrists, neurologists, and pediatricians, both in shared patient follow-up and in conducting neuropsychological tests that assist in the diagnosis, for example, of memory disorders and/or dementia
