Stress research examines the psychological and physiological responses to various stressors in order to understand how stress impacts individuals and their health. This field of research explores the mechanisms by which stress affects the body and mind, as well as potential coping strategies and interventions to mitigate the negative effects of stress. Researchers in this area may study the biological pathways activated by stress, the impact of stress on mental health and well-being, and the relationship between stress and chronic diseases such as heart disease and obesity. Stress research is interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, medicine, and public health to better understand and address the complex effects of stress on individuals and society.
