The Biochemical Pathways Linking Psychological Trauma and Autoimmune Disorders: A Clinical and Molecular Perspective
Dr. Dimitrios G. Kimoglou delves deeply into the interaction of psychology and immunology, focusing on the molecular processes by which psychological trauma influences the initiation and course of autoimmune illnesses. This comprehensive investigation sheds light on the involvement of cortisol dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and epigenetic alterations, underlining the significance of an integrated, trauma-informed therapy strategy.
The contribution seeks to bridge the mind-body gap by providing a comprehensive framework for improving clinical care quality through multidisciplinary interventions.
Abstract
Autoimmune disorders result from a complex combination of genetic predisposition, environmental circumstances, and immune system dysregulation. Emerging research indicates a strong link between psychological trauma and the beginning or worsening of autoimmune diseases. This research investigates the link between psychological stress, particularly trauma, and autoimmune illnesses, with an emphasis on the underlying biological mechanisms, such as chronic inflammation, dysregulated cortisol levels, and immunological activation. Furthermore, clinical findings emphasize the significance of a multidisciplinary approach to patient management, with a focus on integrating psychological therapy alongside conventional medical treatments.
