Psychology and the other fields you have mentioned do deal with mental problems and illnesses, but their focus is not ONLY mental health. It is a part of the many things they are concerned about.\nHowever, the major difference is that this sections is closer to the medical aspects.... symptoms, diaganosis, treatment etc. compared to the others.\nWell, this is only my opinion. I don't know if it works

One of the social sciences would be your best choice, either Anthropology or Sociology, with a preference for Anthro. One of the four main sub-divisions of Anthro is Linguistics, just what you are looking for.

you mean "social science"?\n\nThe social sciences are a group of academic disciplines that study human aspects of the world. They diverge from the arts and humanities in that the social sciences tend to emphasize the use of the scientific method in the study of humanity, including quantitative and qualitative methods.

A psychologist has a degree in psychology, as opposed to a therapist or counselor who MAY have a psychology degree, or may have some other type of degree.\n\nTherapy can be conducted by psychiatrists, psycholoists, social workers, certain types of nurses, ministers, rabbis, and in some cases, people with almost no education or training at all.

I did not take this specific course in college however I have studied it extensively since I have been practicing. I honestly believe it supplies more answers than many of the theorist were able to provide.  It of course is used in conjunction with theories in practice but there is honestly an area you miss out if you don't cover it.  Try reading Molecules of Emotion, I can't think of the author, she writes in a way that is very down to earth and yet really explores the impact of emotion on neurochemistry.  From their it is easier to expand into the concepts of behavior.

Social scientists make up alot of crap definitions. No difference although a textbook might say that there is difference.  So if you are studying for some exam read your text book.  If you are wondering for the sake of curiousity...then no real difference.

Try to compare and contrast thes cultures ideas: table manners, food, general political view. (Try using a venn diagram when you take notes)

Sociology is a great subject.  It was my minor in college (BS, Psychology, University of Houston), so I took several sociology-based classes.  I think you'll find it interesting, especially when your instructor starts to cover the various sociological theories and how they apply to your everyday life.

Sociology is the study of our society and other societies.  It's cultures, norms, expectations, customs etc.  For instance to study US society you would learn about our holidays, our beliefes, our values. You would learn about subcultures and other smaller groups within the society.  You would learn about deviant behavior among certain members of society.  You would learn about civil rights, women's rights and different movements that have taken place in history.

I don't know why they call it "abnormal" psychology.  Personally, I am of the belief that no one is normal.  But if you are going to be taking an abnormal psychology class, it involves learning about the diagnostic criteria and etiology of various mental illnesses.  I guess, meaning that mental illness is somehow abnormal psychology.

There's too many to list.\nHere is the American Psychological Association's Division list.  That should give you a good idea of the different fields.

Science celebrates order in disorder.\n\nArt celebrates disorder in order.\n\nBoth Science and Art are moving toward each other in ways unimaginable in the past.

Your question is very broad.  Sociology, the scientific study of human social behavior. As the study of humans in their collective aspect, sociology is concerned with all group activities: economic, social, political, and religious. Sociologists study such areas as bureaucracy, community, deviant behavior, family, public opinion, social change, social mobility, social stratification, and such specific problems as crime, divorce, child abuse, and substance addiction. Sociology tries to determine the laws governing human behavior in social contexts.\n\nThese sites may help.

Often times, studies that are very structured and methodical are considered "sciences," as opposed to free form studies that are considered "arts."\n\nSince library books are organized by subjects with the Dewey Decimal System for non-fiction, or alphabetical by author for fiction.
