Description
There is increasing evidence of interactions between psychological stress and psychiatric illness on one hand, and responses of the immune system on the other. It has been demonstrated that, if stress interferes with the smooth running of the immune system, changes occur which enhance disease susceptibility and adaptive behaviour during the course of the disease. Thus, a real need exists for the objective assessment of the importance of psychoneuroimmunology. This guide aims to provide clinicians and neurologists with a contemporary perspective of this emerging field which bridges psychology, psychiatry and immunology.
