Answer 1

I guess if you psycologically think about it, you should never let crazy people do chemistry, chemistry is a subject for well-specialized & trained (usually) professionals.

Answer 2

Okay so psychology, like everything else about you, is determined in your DNA, which is a collection of nucleic acids that direct your proteins to act in a certain way. The proteins help control what you look like, how smart you are, how well your brain functions anything. So psychology and chemistry are related through bio-chemistry.

Answer 3

id say that psychology is in a lot of ways related to the chemistry of the brain, such as chemicals like serotonin and dopamine

Answer 4

I think they would relate in the matters of hormonal balance and imbalance, and from the chemicals, say, in chocolate, that influence moods. Smells too. These all affect a persons personality, and that is where the psychologist comes in.

Answer 5

Cognitive processes are, in one sense, a series of electrochemical processes in the brain. For example, norepinephrin, a neurochemical, is the basic building block of aggression, and dopamine of euphoria. Psychology, as the study of cognitive processes, engages the substrate of neurochemistry in this way.

Answer 6

Not related. Unless you say that they are both a "science" but many scientists would disagree.
Sometimes, chemical imbalances in the brain can cause aberrant behaviour but this a doctor's or psychiatrist's field, not that of a psychologist.

Answer 7

Brain chemistry...how the different chemicals in our brains interact to make us feel things (hormones...things like adrenaline, dopamine, etc).
