The first Wikipedia article I read was called "Happiness". My curiosity led me to this article as I completed a learning challenge this week which was called "11 Things To Become Happier" which is why the topic of happiness was on my mind. I had a feeling if I used the topic of happiness to start my Wikipedia trail that it would lead me down some interesting paths.
The second article I read was called "Mental health". My curiosity led me to this article as I was intrigued to try and discover some new surrounding the topic of mental health. I found it interesting that mental health could be described as "an absence of mental illness". I have never heard of it described as that before.
The third article I read was called "Positive psychology". My curiosity led me to this article as I was interested to learn some new information surrounding the topic of positive psychology. I was unaware that positive psychology "began as a new domain of psychology in 1998 when Martin Seligman chose it as the theme for his term as president of the American Psychological Association". I also found it humorous that positive psychology was described as "the scientific study of the "good life". I never heard it being referred to like that before.
The fourth article I read was called "Psychoanalysis". My curiosity led me to this article as I was interested to learn about the topic of psychoanalysis. I didn't know the definition of psychoanalysis was "a set of theories and therapeutic techniques related to the study of the unconscious mind, which together form a method of treatment for mental-health disorders." I was also unaware that the "discipline was established in the early 1890s by Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud and stemmed partly from the clinical work of Josef Breuer and others."
