Stress can adversely affect one’s health. Some of the key biological mechanisms
through which stress impacts health is the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
regulation and cortisol. The studies reviewed in this article confirm that stress has
an impact on multiple biological systems affecting one’s health. Counsellors work
with such people experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological
problems. They help them bring about effective change and/or enhance their well-
being.
