      Hmmm… Well, maybe first is what you need to do to be a psychologist. The first step is applying for and studying for a degree in psychology at University. A degree programme usually lasts 3 to 4 years. Next, if you wanted to go focus on a really specific area, you might do a Master’s degree or a PhD. I did both of these in Sport and Exercise Psychology. But there are many other areas too. It takes time, dedication, and some hard work. But if it is really something you want to do, then it is worth it in the end.

    This is not really my research area but I think there are some drugs that women at risk of breast cancer can take to reduce the chance of them getting breast cancer, but many women choose not to take the drug because they are worried about the side effects. Perhaps they feel it will never happen to them so they would rather take the risk than suffer the side effects.

    I imagine among women who do have breast cancer that a higher number of them do take the recommended treatment.
