With the establishment of the Pakistan Psychological Council, the data of psychologists from across the country will be collected and the growing mental disorders can be overcome and we will have qualified and registered psychologists available to cure them. Psychologists across Pakistan are raising their voice through this Voice of Psychologist movement. Psychology students and teachers from universities, colleges across the country are working with us to become part of this struggle.

The statement stated that our country has passed different laws in different periods of Pakistan, which were of paramount importance to the police, which, by implementation, could reduce our growing emotional measures and tackle terrorism and reduce crime, because of the establishment of the Psychological Council.

Failure to do so could result in no improvement, as the process of the Psychological Council could systematically work on growing psychological and social problems in society.

And a considerable number of qualified bio-data will be available at the national level, which will enable the government to provide us with the full potential of any psychologist whose services can be fully utilized in any district situation.
