Health psychology
Health psychology investigates how psychological processes affect physical health and disease. It examines the interaction of biological, psychological and social factors in health consequences, considering how beliefs, attitude and behavior affects physical welfare and vice versa, while also keeping in mind genetics and environmental stresses. Health psychologists implement their insight into medical, educational and clinical settings to maintain both health and address disease or disability. The session highlights that behavior patterns such as diets, exercises and substances use – impact health, and emphasizes the importance of sociological contexts in shaping health decisions
and habits. By understanding and modifying these psychological and cultural dimensions, the field aims to improve the prevention and treatment of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and asthma, and to inform the effective public health initiatives.
