psychosocial impact

Psychosocial impact refers to how an event, illness, or situation affects a person’s mental, emotional, and social well-being. It considers not just physical health but also feelings, relationships, work, and daily life. For example, facing a serious illness can cause stress, anxiety, or changes in social interactions. Understanding the psychosocial impact helps recognize how personal and social factors influence overall health and quality of life, guiding support and interventions to improve resilience and well-being during challenging times.
