The branch of psychology that focuses on applied and practical issues related to individual's mental health and well-being is known as:

Abnormal Psychology
Developmental Psychology
Clinical Psychology
Social Psychology

The correct answer is: Clinical Psychology

Clinical psychology is the field of psychology that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health disorders. Abnormal psychology primarily focuses on the study of abnormal behavior and mental disorders, but does not necessarily provide treatment. Developmental psychology is concerned with the study of human development over the lifespan, but does not specifically address mental health issues. Social psychology focuses on the influence of social factors on human behavior, but does not specifically address individual mental health. Therefore, out of the options provided, clinical psychology is the most accurate description of a field that deals with practical and applied issues related to mental health and well-being.
