Since ancient times, people have been affected by their own nature and behavior, and have derived many philosophical theses on them. Inquiries about human nature such as motivation, memory, learning, perception, dreams, and mental illnesses have gained different perspectives depending on the evolution of the human mind and societies. Psychology, which has a long background and a short history, has evolved over time as the science of behavior and mental functioning. It has gained the popularity and respect it deserves with its scientific and research-based contributions to the solution of the increasingly complex problems of our age.
Psychology, as a branch of science that examines the genetic, biological and environmental causes of behavior, focuses on what healthy behavior is, how it develops, and how it occurs in which environments. On the other hand, it deals with how to change or correct unhealthy behaviors.
