Overview
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It helps us understand how people think, feel, and act, and offers practical ways to improve mental health, relationships, coping skills, and overall well-being. Just as the body needs care, the mind also needs support to stay healthy. Illness, pain, stress, and lifestyle changes affect both body and mind. Our department works alongside doctors, nurses, and therapists so patients receive complete care—physical and emotional—throughout their hospital journey.
