Research indicates that psychological and behavioral disorders adversely affect physical health. It is said that 70% of people visiting medical clinics do not have a physical illness or what they have is linked to a prior psychological condition.

There is a direct relationship between the health status of a population and its productivity. Psychological mental and behavioral disorders have an economic impact on this nation with decreased productivity at work in form of abseentism, sick leave, and decreased productivity There is a growing number of human resources wasted every year through preventable conditions such as alcoholism, domestic violence, suicide community violence and even conflict. Besides prevention the major role of psychologists is mental health diagnosis and treatment.
