Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It encompasses various aspects of human experience, including thoughts, emotions, perceptions, motivations, and social interactions. Psychology aims to understand how individuals think and act, both individually and in groups, and to explore the underlying processes that govern mental functions and behavior. This field integrates a variety of methods, including observation, experimentation, and clinical practices. It is divided into several subfields, such as cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, and neuropsychology, among others. Through research and theory, psychology seeks to address questions about mental health, emotional well-being, and the complexities of human interactions, thereby contributing to the understanding of both normal and abnormal behavior. The insights gained from psychology have applications in various areas, including education, healthcare, business, and social services.
