An overview of how interactions between mind and body contribute to health and well-being.

In this class, we will examine the interplay between various psychological, social, and environmental factors as they relate to general health outcomes and specific diseases. Topics include stress management, social relationships, personality traits, placebo effects, and behavioral changes such as eating, sleep habits, exercise, and drug use.
