You think to yourself, \u201chow could anyone be so sick in the mind to do this to innocent people?\u201d Well, this is where you will find out<\/span><b>. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to my psychology column. One of the most interesting subdivisions of psychology, in my opinion, is abnormal psychology. One thing I\u2019m most interested in is the diseases of the mind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout my last months here at Fort Hays State, we\u2019re going to be talking about various serial killers, but also about subjects such as the media\u2019s portrayals of mental illness and various mental illnesses you\u2019ve probably seen before. One thing I want you to remember during these articles is that I am in no way an expert in psychology, as I am still learning, and will continue to learn for the rest of my life. If you are interested in psychology, I greatly encourage you to reach out to different professors in the department at FHSU. You can find these brilliant minds in Martin Allen Hall. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychology is more than just a major, it is a study that helps open our minds. This is something that I am dearly passionate about and very excited to write about, and I hope you enjoy reading my column throughout this summer and upcoming school year. I will also note that a majority of the topics you will read about can be extremely triggering, so if you have any issues with mental illness, I encourage you to read them in the company of a trusted friend, adult, parent, or anyone else you are safe with. If you find yourself struggling with the topics discussed, FHSU offers free counseling at the Kelly Center, found on the bottom floor of Picken Hall. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay tuned as next week we will discuss the media\u2019s portrayal of mental illness.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following column is the opinion of the author and in no way represents the opinions\u00a0of Tiger Media Network or Fort Hays State University.\u00a0 BY&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":38926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[55],"tags":[11872,69,106,11253,11674,11578,103,290],"class_list":["post-38925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion","tag-column","tag-fhsu","tag-fort-hays-state-university","tag-marissa-castanos","tag-mental-illness","tag-psychology","tag-tiger-media-network","tag-tmn"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/On-My-Mind-Photo-e1529615680200.jpg?fit=600%2C295&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38925"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38927,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38925\/revisions\/38927"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/38926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
