Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes. It has become one of the most important and widely applicable disciplines with its popularity being largely due to the discipline’s authority in unraveling some of the most frequently asked questions in our society, for example, why do people do the things they do?

Psychologists are interested in every aspect of human thought and behaviour which can be applied to promoting good mental health and rational behaviour in individuals and groups. They also administer therapeutic interviews and provide counselling. Psychologists are trained to conduct research and apply findings in order to minimize stress, as well as to reduce behavioural and psychological problems. Conducting psychological tests to identify the source of problems, analysing the results of these tests and determining the right treatment or therapy are also part of what psychologists do.
