While physical signs of some mental health issues can be observed, such
as the plaques that develop with Alzheimer’s disease, many theories of
psychology are based on observation of human behavior.
Psychologists may have other roles, too. They may carry out studies to
advise health authorities and other bodies on social and other strategies,
assess children who find it difficult to learn in school, give workshops on
how to prevent bullying, work with recruitment teams in companies, and
