Behavioral Medicine
Behavioral Medicine is an interdisciplinary field that integrates psychological, behavioral, and medical understanding of health and illness. Behavioral Medicine focuses on understanding and changing health behaviors to improve physical, psychological, and social health outcomes. By emphasizing the bi-directional relationship between behavior and health, it can inform and improve the quality of clinical care and reduce health care costs. Behavioral Medicine can have significant implications for prevention and management of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. It can also be beneficial for mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, as well as reducing health disparities among vulnerable populations.
