Health Psychologists

Health psychologists focus on how biological, psychological, and social factors influence health and illness. They study the impact of behaviors, emotions, and attitudes on overall well-being and work to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent illness.

Health psychologists conduct research to understand how individuals’ thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors affect their physical health. They also develop interventions to help people make positive lifestyle changes, manage chronic conditions, and cope with medical issues.

These psychologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, public health organizations, universities, and research institutions. They collaborate with healthcare professionals to provide holistic care that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of health and wellness.
