What is Psychology? Why should we study about it?

       According to an article from the New York Times "research in psychology seeks to understand and explain thought, emotion, and behavior. Applications of psychology include mental health treatment, performance enhancement, self-help, ergonomics, and many other areas affecting health and daily life." (Cherry, Kendra) In my opinion it’s imperative for us to study Psychology to be able to understand our selves and others. This way we know the cause behind our actions, and it is easier to find a solution.
