CLINICAL PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY
Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology (cPNI) studies the interrelationships between different systems in the body, from neurological to endocrine, digestive, and also the psychological dimension. None of these systems can function in isolation; their interaction and communication define the well-being of our organism. For this reason, it is crucial to understand the symptoms and clinical signs that indicate their imbalance, leading to feelings of discomfort, acute or chronic illnesses, and even situations of autoimmunity or psychological imbalance. cPNI seeks to restore optimal communication between these systems.
This deep understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the systems allows us to better explain and confirm that stress and certain emotions have an impact on the development of acute and chronic diseases.
The effect that stress generates on the nervous and immune systems leads specific communication between them, mediated by different types of biochemical and neuroendocrine substances. If stress is perceived by our organism as completely overwhelming, the signaling will be pro-inflammatory, and there is a high likelihood of presenting various, bothersome, and potentially limiting clinical signs and symptoms in the medium to long term.
It is not only necessary to understand them as a whole but also to comprehend their interrelation and interdependence, identifying the mechanisms of different systems that have ceased to be efficient and be able to recover them. All of this is entirely impossible if we leave aside the bio-psycho-social context that each person lives in, which defines us as a species. This is a complete and integrative approach; it is not just about addressing digestive or hormonal systems but involves a consciousness of treating persons as a whole.
