Introduction
Health Psychology explores the psychological factors that influence health, illness, and healthcare. This course examines how behaviors, emotions, and social contexts impact physical well-being, the development and management of chronic diseases, and individual responses to medical treatments. Topics include stress and coping mechanisms, health behavior change, the mind-body connection, the role of personality in health, and interventions designed to promote healthier lifestyles. By integrating research from psychology and the health sciences, students gain an understanding of how psychological principles are applied to enhance prevention, treatment, and the overall healthcare experience.
