Stress and Health

Aims & Scope

Stress is a normal component of life and a number of mechanisms exist to cope with its effects.

The stresses that challenge man"s existence in our modern society may result in failure of these coping mechanisms, with resultant stress-induced illness.

The aim of the journal therefore is to provide a forum for discussion of all aspects of stress which affect the individual in both health and disease.

The Journal explores the subject from as many aspects as possible, so that when stress becomes a consideration, health information can be presented as to the best ways by which to minimise its effects.
