Psychology Scope

Hello,
The scope and a good career choice solely depends on the person who is into the field professionally. It is an individualistic choice and opinion. The only answer to your question is that due to the widespread alertness in the society, people are aware of this field, but mind you people or rather society is still skeptical about visiting doctors for mental health related issues. The more well established you are and more people are aware of your services, the more they would be likely to visit you. Please note, not only College degree but also other certificates is the need of the hour. A counselor needs to be a comprehensive package
Hope you are satisfied with the answer:).

Health psychology is the study of psychological and behavioral processes in health, illness, and healthcare. It is concerned with understanding how psychological, behavioral, and cultural factors contribute to physical health and illness. Psychological factors can affect health directly. For example, chronically occurring environmental stressors affecting the hypothalamicpituitaryadrenal axis, cumulatively, can harm health. Behavioral factors can also affect a person's health. For example, certain behaviors can, over time, harm (smoking, excessive alcohol consumption) or enhance health (exercise, diet low in saturated fat). Health psychologists take a biopsychosocial approach. In other words, health psychologists understand health to be the product not only of biological processes (e.g., a virus, tumor, etc.) but also of psychological (e.g., thoughts and beliefs), behavioral (e.g., habits), and social processes (e.g., socioeconomic status and ethnicity).
