Which branch of psychology is focused on treating mental disorders and other psychological problems?

  1. Developmental psychology

  2. Evolutionary psychology

  3. Clinical psychology

  4. Social psychology

The correct answer is: Clinical psychology

Clinical psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders and other psychological problems. Developmental psychology is concerned with understanding how people change and grow throughout their lifespan, while evolutionary psychology examines how evolutionary principles influence human behavior. Social psychology studies how individuals are influenced by others and how they interact in social situations. While these are all important areas of study within psychology, they do not specifically focus on treating mental disorders and other psychological problems like clinical psychology does.
