Abstract:
Behavioral medicine is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field that integrates the biological and psychosocial perspectives of human behavior and apply them to practice of medicine. The aim of behavioral medicine is to analyse, prevent and treat reversible, non-adaptive behavioral patterns, reactions and symptoms. In the early stages of chronic non-infectious illnesses of great epidemiological significance reversible regulation disturbances, non-adaptive behavioral factors (such as smoking, alcohol abuse, etc.) are the most important risk factors, which are closely connected with emotional disturbances, anxiety, depressive symptomatology, hopelessness and learned pathological reactions. Behavioral medicine deals with the recognition, effective treatment and scientific model of these behavioral and psychological problems on different fields of medical practice.
