NAVAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Many people have heard that a career in the military or armed forces is fraught
with mental, emotional, and psychological difficulties and stressors. Navy
careers are no exception to the rule that such jobs can lead to mental health
issues. We employ naval psychologists to ensure that naval officers and troops
do not suffer from mental or emotional issues that may impair their ability to
fulfil their duties.
A navy psychologist's main goal is to accurately identify and diagnose any
mental or psychological abnormalities or disorders that naval personnel may
have.
