Abstract: Physiologic processes and outcomes sometimes are divorced from mental health status. However, scientific research has proven this to be incorrect and reckless. There is a close relationship between mental health and human immune functioning. The incidences of infectious and autoimmune disorders link them with stressful conditions. The objective of this review paper was to explore the functioning of the human immune system during stressful conditions.
