Clinical and health psychology are interrelated fields that focus on understanding, diagnosing, and treating psychological disorders, as well as promoting overall health and well-being. While clinical psychology primarily addresses mental illness, health psychology emphasizes the interaction between psychological, biological, and social factors in physical health. This paper explores the foundations, scope, theoretical frameworks, assessment methods, and intervention strategies within clinical and health psychology. It also highlights the importance of integrated approaches in addressing both mental and physical health challenges in modern healthcare systems.
