Psychosocial Stress Interventions

Meaning

Structured, evidence-based therapeutic and behavioral strategies specifically designed to mitigate the physiological impact of chronic stress arising from an individual’s psychological and social environment. These interventions, which include mindfulness training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and social support optimization, are employed to reduce allostatic load and restore neuroendocrine balance. Clinically, they serve as a crucial adjunct to hormonal therapies by addressing the upstream stressors that drive HPA axis dysfunction. The ultimate goal is to enhance biological resilience.
