Psychology is the study of all behaviour (what an animal or human does, feels, or thinks) Cognitive behavioural therapy is considered the gold standard treatment for many disorders (i. e. depression, sleeping disorders and etc. ) Even chronic pain is being treated with both medication as well as through psychological treat- ment. Psychology provides information to help us make better choices. Psychology is like a tool kit helping us to solve and fix things (make better choices/fix problems) For example: someone who falls and clearly needs help- the more people around, the less likely that person will be assisted. While the less people around, the more likely that person will receive help. It is called, by stander apathy everyone thinks, someone else will do it .
