A STUDY OF EFFECT OF STRESS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.
Keywords:
Abstract
This is a review of the psychological field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) and how psychopathology has an impact on the immune system. Two areas of study of PNI are examined: first, how the psychosocial environment affects the health of an individual along with the impact stressors play on the immune system; second, the effects of psychopathology on the immune system and how perceived stresses are assessed. Coping strategies are also looked at where in some cases they have shown abilities in strengthening the immune system. The understanding of PNI is crucial in understanding the association between immunity, depression, stressors, and psychosocial aspects, along with their interactions with each other and their causal relations.
