Okay, I'm in high school and I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my future. Psychology has always fascinated me, so I was thinking what I could do with a degree in that field.
Now, I've had a friend who was depressed and suicidal and a niece who was abused as a toddler and now has some mental issues from it. So I really want to help and work with children and teens in those types situations by giving counseling and maybe even diagnosing disorders and things like that.
I was wondering what job would allow me to do that, what I'd have to do in college for it, if psychology's worth taking and things like that.
Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

You would want to go into Psychology/Psychiatry.
The only difference being that Psychologists act more as therapists while Psychiatrists can prescribe medicine and diagnose problems. As for how.. I believe you need a PhD (doctorate) in Psychology. To be a Psychiatrist you will need to go to Med school, go through residency and all that fun stuff.
