Abstract

Stress is an important fact of everyday life that can have a major effect on emotional and physical well-being. Stress is best defined as the adaptation response by the body to a stressor (ie, the perceived stimulus). Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of the ways in which psychosocial interactions cause neuroendocrine responses and, at times, physical changes. An increasing body of evidence suggests a causative role for acute and chronic stress in many medical disorders and psychiatric states. Methods of measuring and assessing stress factors need to also evaluate patients' coping and adaptive mechanisms.
