Health psychology is a fast-growing sub-discipline of psychology that borders on what causes illness and how to such illness is treated. Noticeably, healthy psychology shifts the responsibility of disease prevention to individuals arguing that diseases such as HIV/AIDS are caused by certain personal behaviors (Murphy, 2010).
