    Clinical psychology, a specialised branch of Psychology, focuses specifically on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health disorders. While Psychology explores general principles of behaviour and mental functioning, clinical psychology applies this knowledge to address psychological issues through therapy, assessment, and interventions. 

    In essence, clinical psychology is more practice-oriented, dealing with real-world mental health challenges, while psychology serves as the foundation for understanding human behaviour in diverse contexts.
