Psychology is defined as the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, sometimes particularly focusing on those affecting one's behavior. It cannot be understated how important the study is, especially when considering that nearly one in five American adults suffer from some sort of mental illness, meaning chances are, someone you know and love is fighting one. If we can all agree that this field is incredibly important, why are there so many eyeroll-worthy stereotypes of its students? Here are seven annoying stereotypes about psychology majors.

1.) They are somehow "damaged"

While, yes, statistics for mental illness can sometimes shock because of its commonality, not everyone is trying to "fix" themselves (whatever that means). Does every pre-med major want to go into medicine because they had strep throat before?

2.) They have no idea what they REALLY want to do with their lives

Because psychology is just a prettier title than "undeclared", right? All these students with a passion for helping people and a dedication to their work and true interests in the subject matters are just "confused", right?

3.) Their degree is useless

Aside from the fact that many psychology majors continue their education post grad, there are many rewarding careers for those who are content with their bachelors, such as work with top and mid level management and administration, sales, social work, other management occupations, labor-relations, personnel, and training, and administrative positions, to name a few.

4.) They are constantly analyzing you

Your life just isn't that interesting. Really.

5.) They aren't smart enough to handle a "real" science

So not only is a field based on aiding people with the help of empirical evidence not a "real" science, but the students studying this aren't intelligent?

6.) They're your ride to free therapy some day

On second thought, the price for you is doubled.

7.) They're all crazy

Well, while we don't ever really use that term, we'd be the first to know if we are.
