The Effect of Psychological Stress on the Human Immune System

Chronic psychological stress has a detrimental effect by weakening the strength of T-cells and B-cells.

B-cells

If anxiety and psychological stress increase for more than six months and a person is unable to cope and overcome them, these cells in the white blood cells, which represent the mainstay of the immune system, weaken in quantity and quality. Viruses and bacteria can then easily attack the person.
