According to American Psychological Association, Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behavior - how it works and how it affects behavior. It is a multifaceted discipline that includes many sub-fields of study areas such as human development, sports, health, clinical, social behavior and cognitive processes.

Psychology aims to understand others' behavior and gather information on how the brain works, to better serve humanity. By observing different human behaviors, Psychology analyzes thoughts, feelings, actions and goals of people through the help of various case studies, observations and surveys, to determine what is normal and healthy and what is unhealthy.
