Mind and body: Health psychologists provide specialty evaluation of how one's cognitions, emotions, mental health status, beliefs, culture, and behavioral patterns affect management of health conditions. They may use this information to help individuals better manage chronic health conditions, improve adherence to medical regimens, and cope/adjust to onset of illness.
