Where is Slapin Drugs store?
Slapin Drugs Store is located in Southern California at a site known as LPCC. Slapin Drugs Store is the most successful sports medication store in recent history. The beauty of the Slapin concept and strategy is "ready to use medication". Slapin has introduced something that no other drug store has offered. They have gone to the next level of health products. Although the concept is relatively simple "Traveling medication" it has not been pursued by any of the larger pharmaceutical companies. The most significant breakthrough was the Golf Cart Pharmacy system introduced by the founder. Here golfers have the ability to really go for it knowing that if they hurt themselves medical support is "on the spot". This established the baseline of the Slapin Drug Store. The company is now selling a $.02 on the NYSE, and is considered a "strong buy" by most analysts, because the company is thinking about using hot air balloons for it's next traveling approach to instant medical support. The strong buy, according to analysts is due to the fact that Slapin drugs will now be selling street drugs herbals and hallucinogenics in addition to it's proprietary line of almost pharmaceutical quality Bulgarian generic drugs.
What doctors help with mental health?
There are many different doctors that deal with mental health. The most common are psychiatrists and psychologists. Psychiatrists have generally had some medical-type training and can prescribe medication where psychologists are experts in counseling or fixing behaviors. Social workers also (to some degree) can help people with mental illnesses. A neuroscientists may look at the brain component of mental health. Informally, many other professions (such as ministers or priests) may also try to help solve mental problems.
Is it better to get a degree in psychology or counseling if you want to do counseling?
First, decide what kind of counseling you want to do. There are a number of specalized types requiring different academic tracks than "general talk-therapy counseling": pastoral, drug (CDC), vocational rehab (CRC), school, nutritional, and genetic. There is a supporting counseling modality known as Art Therapy (ATR), which is growing as a recognized profession, often combined with an additional year of schooling to qualify to take the State Board Exam for LPC licensure. While providing a valuable adjunct to talk therapy, Art Therapy is not a substitute for talk or behavioral therapy. It also has the disadvantage of being less respected in organizations, due to misperceptions about the importance of the field, and is likely to suffer first when a workforce is reduced within a facility. It is not unusual to work 2-4 jobs to maintain full-time employment hours. Psychology or Social Work degrees are okay as an undergrad foundation, preparatory for grad level studies in Research Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Clinical Counseling (LPC), Social Work (micro or macro), Vocational Rehab, Drug Rehab, and School Counseling. Psychology majors often elect to pursue the more academic track of testing, research, and Doctoral studies. Some become Psychologists, which is very competitive, and also diverse. Social Work is the more dominant degree in the general counseling field, which is often titled "Community Counseling". The LISW is required for certain positions, which puts some limitation upon the PC, LPC, LPCC, and ATR/LPC. Field experience and classroom hours are roughly equivalent for both branches of Community Counseling professionals. Both are licensed by the same state agency.
