Psycho-Physiological Impact of Emotions

Abstract

This chapter explores the complex interactions between emotions and how they affect behaviour and human health on a psycho-physiological level. Emotions are not just psychological phenomena; they also have an impact on our overall well-being through physiological alterations. We can learn more about the critical function emotions play in forming our social interaction and overall health by investigating how emotions affect physiological systems. Important topics are covered, with a focus on how different emotions have varying effects on health outcomes. These topics include the bidirectional interaction between mind and body, stress response mechanisms, and neurobiological foundations. This chapter offers a thorough knowledge of how better emotional regulation can improve one's own wellbeing and promote more positive social interactions.
