Psychosocial Stressor Mitigation

Meaning

Psychosocial Stressor Mitigation refers to the systematic identification and reduction of non-physiological, environmental, and interpersonal factors that contribute to chronic allostatic load and subsequent HPA axis dysregulation. Psychosocial stressors, such as relational conflict or financial strain, profoundly impact the neuroendocrine system, leading to sustained elevated cortisol and potential metabolic compromise. Mitigation is a core preventative strategy for maintaining hormonal balance and overall physiological resilience.
