Editorial: The interplay of stress, health, and well-being: unraveling the psychological and physiological processes, volume II

Abstract

The increasing complexity of modern life has amplified the impact of stress on health and wellbeing, making it one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. Stress, whether acute or chronic, has profound effects on physical health, mental resilience, wellbeing and overall quality of life. Following the success of the first volume, this second installment of The interplay of stress, health, and well-being: unraveling the psychological and physiological processes, volume II continues the exploration of the dynamic relationships among these factors. By integrating insights from psychology, neuroscience, physiology, and public health, this volume presents novel research aimed at understanding the mechanisms through which stress affects individuals and how targeted interventions can mitigate its negative consequences. This volume collectively represents over 35,000 views, until the moment, demonstrating the growing academic and clinical interest in the topic.
