Undoubtedly, Clinical Psychology can be emotionally exhausting because it involves working with people who are experiencing mental distress, trauma, or severe psychological problems.
Nonetheless, many people find the work very rewarding as long as they can set appropriate boundaries, incorporate self-care, and work under supervision with their clients. In Clinical Psychology, continued education and training, peer support, and achieving a balance between work and personal lives can help address staying below the stress threshold.

Yes, but typically Indian Clinical Psychology degrees won't be straight across in a country like the UK or USA. You typically have to do extra courses, practicum/supervision or licensing exams in other countries as well.
Every country has their own requirements for psychology professionals. Getting experience internationally, doing a PhD that is recognised abroad or passing exams like the GRE Psychology Subject Test could all definitely help enhance your chances.

No you can have your own clinic if you are do not have license to open one by RCI. To get te license you need to first pass MPhil in Clinical Psychology.

General Psychology includes aspects of human behavior, cognition and emotional development. You will find different branches like developmental, social and organizational psychology under this umbrella.
If you look at Clinical Psychology it is all about mental health, psychological disorders, assessments and therapies. It prepares you to work in clinical or therapeutic settings and help people manage their mental and emotional issues.

Yes a number of universities in India accept students from any stream into undergraduate Clinical Psychology courses, regardless of whether they studied Psychology in Class 12 or not. Yes, prior study of Psychology does give you some background in subject.
Some top colleges may prefer students with a psychology background, however, majority of UG courses are written with intention that they will be teaching students who have no previous experience studying psychology.
