  2. Psychology Myths and Misconceptions With the expansion of mental health initiatives and awareness, many philosophies and terms related to psychology are being used by the general public. But there are a lot of myths created because of the layman definitions.

  3. 1. You are either left or right- brained We often hear that a creative person is right-brained while the analytical one is right-brained.

  4. 2. Opposites attract and make a better bond People often follow this myth and end up choosing a partner who is opposite to them in some sense to make a balanced relationship.

  5. 3. Venting out your aggression can help overcome the anger We know that suppressing emotions is harmful but sometimes venting is not good either. People shout and rant to vent it all out.

  6. 4. OCD disorder is just related to organizing things and washing hands Many of us have a misconception that obsessive-compulsive disorder is related to organizing things, finding symmetry and washing hands repeatedly.

  7. 5. Bipolar Disorder is just about mood swings and is seasonal Many people believe that an individual with bipolar disorder has mood swings mostly happiness and sadness.

  8. 6. Children don’t experience emotional problems and psychological issues Many people believe that children do not experience issues related to mental health as they don’t have to face the atrocities of life just as teenagers and adults do.

  9. 7. The best approach to generate good ideas is to ‘brainstorm’ in the group We often believe that brainstorming ideas in a group of people work best. As it is common sense that many brains will be working together to generate better ideas.

  10. 8. Acting hard to get is a good way to attract someone When a person displays hard to get behaviour, the other person becomes interested and tries to impress and acknowledges the uniqueness.

  11. 9. People who tend to be happy-go-lucky experience fewer bad moods We often tend to believe that people who are always happy and smiling, are happy in their life and are better able to regulate their emotions.

  12. 10. The best way to memorize something is to repeat it several times We often believe that rote memorisation is one of the most successful ways to memorise something.
