Behavioral Health refers to the reciprocal relationship between human behavior, individually or socially, and the well-being of the body, mind, and spirit; whether the latter are considered individually or as an integrated whole.
The term is more commonly used to describe an interdisciplinary field concerned with the development and promotion of a philosophy of health that stresses individual responsibility in the application of behavioral and biomedical science.
Although little large-scale psychological or cognitive research has been done to link subjective well-being results to personality, linguists have observed patterns that suggest underlying personality is very much related to how individuals perceive themselves and others.
The Descartes Institute encourages all research aiming to enhance well-being.
