This article analyzes the impact of mood (affect) and human psychology on health, methods of their assessment, and possibilities for integration into practical healthcare systems. The positive and negative effects of mood on cardiovascular, immunological, and psychosocial health indicators are discussed, along with recent scientific studies (2024–2025) explaining these relationships. The paper also presents interventions aimed at improving mood in the health context—such as physical activity, social relationships, positive psychology, and workplace factors—highlighting their effectiveness and offering practical recommendations. Additionally, the mental health system and recent reforms in Uzbekistan are reviewed as a specific national context.
