CAN HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY AFFECT UPCOMING DISEASES?

In recent decades, the role of psychological factors in human health has become increasingly significant. While most diseases are traditionally associated with biological, genetic, or environmental causes, current research highlights the influence of human psychology on the development, progression, and even emergence of diseases. This paper explores how mental health conditions such as chronic stress, anxiety, and depression can affect physiological systems, particularly the immune response, and potentially contribute to the rise of both existing and new diseases. By analyzing the mind-body connection and examining psychoneuroimmunological data, the study aims to demonstrate the necessity of including psychological wellness as a key element in public health strategies.
