Behavioral Medicine is the interdisciplinary field concerned with the development and integration of behavioral, psychosocial, and biomedical science knowledge and strategies pertinent to the understanding of wellness and medical illness, and the application of this knowledge and these techniques to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

Do you only work with medical patients (or provide behavioral medicine services)?

Absolutely not.  While Behavioral Medicine Services primarily treats medical patients, we definitely work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, or even phobia's.  Depending on the severity of the persons depression or anxiety (or other mental health difficulties) however, or if the nature of the presenting problem is outside your providers scope of practice, you will be provided with a referral to another more appropriate healthcare practitioner or organization in the community.

The field of health psychology central focus is encouraging health and prevention, as well as focusing on the treatment of disease and illness, using psychological interventions.  A health psychologist thereby focuses on understanding the psychosocial and biological factors related to behavior and coping with illness (or recovering from an illness).  Additionally, health psychologists may also work to enhance the healthcare delivery system and be involved on either a local, state, or federal level in health care policy making.  Health psychologists frequently work in the field of behavioral medicine.
