DESCRIPTION Clinical Health Psychology is a professionally recognized discipline that studies and conducts clinical services in diverse populations and environments to promote health and welfare and prevent, treat and manage illnesses and disorders. Clinical health psychology is also known as behavioral medicine, medical psychology, and psychosomatic medicine. It is a psychological specialty primarily related to meeting the needs of intersections between physical and emotional illnesses and understanding and treating those intersections. Health psychology is the study of psychological and behavioral processes in health, illness and healthcare. It is about understanding how psychological, behavioral and cultural factors contribute to physical health and illness. Psychological factors can have a direct impact on health. For example, chronic environmental stressors that affect the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system can cause cumulative health problems. Behavioral factors can also affect a person's health. For example, certain behaviors can impair health (smoking or excessive alcohol consumption) or improve health (exercise) over time.
