Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It explores various aspects of human experience, including perception, cognition, emotion, motivation, and personality, as well as social interactions and mental health. Psychologists use diverse research methods to understand how people think, feel, and behave, often applying their findings to improve individual and societal well-being. The field encompasses several sub-disciplines, such as clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and social psychology. By examining both normal and abnormal functioning, psychology aims to enhance mental health, educational outcomes, work productivity, and overall quality of life.
