(all of which are referenced in the description.) Who needs to take psychology courses or read textbooks and peer reviewed studies? Ig people need to think their smart, attending a fancy university to take a course, and/or reading hours of text..
Here are some significantly important topics the channel tackles
How to clear your mind
The real secret to fighting peer pressure
How to get to know yourself in a healthy way
The future of depression treatment
The surprising benefits of watching cute cat videos
The lesser known symptoms of depression
How being sick changes your brain
When does your brain stop developing
Do you have an unconscious mind?
How do you define a disorder?
Does psychotherapy work?
Does IQ really measure how smart you are?
Do personality tests mean anything?
Will Video games replace therapy?
Does psychotherapy work?
I can already foresee the skeptical inquiries, how do you know the host is interpreting the data from said sources correctly? How do you know they are able to cover all that information in under 10 minutes? Well, that's what a youtube comment section is for.

I usually just type into google what I am looking for then check out the results until I find what I need.
specific forums well theres a class with the colleges out here in NY that is police oriented. kind of a how to protect your self and recognize stalkers and such things. most first year students get the information in their orientation but others take a police and family crisis type class.
in these classes they teach internet safety like when on line dont disclose what sites you actually visit and dont disclose what your user name is on other sites and use a different user name for each site. this way when on one forum someone cant follow you to another forum and another forum and... you get the picture.. some one gets upset at you on one forum follows you around the net causing you problems and quite possibly actually end up following to your actual front door.
therefore Im extremely careful about posting what sites I actually visit. especially when there are site rules saying not to post about other website forums to gather members to go there (which is one of psych centrals guidelines)
my suggestion just type in to google what you are looking for and then check out the results until you find what you are looking for.
