Biochemistry within the psychology context refers to the study of chemical processes and substances within the brain and nervous system that influence mental health and behavior. This field bridges biology and psychology, focusing on how neurotransmitters, hormones, and other chemical messengers affect thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It explores the biochemical basis of psychological phenomena, including how drugs affect the brain and behavior, the chemical imbalances associated with mental health disorders, and the potential for biochemical interventions.
