Numerous studies indicate social support is essential for maintaining physical and psychological health. The harmful consequences of poor social support and the protective effects of good social support in mental illness have been well documented. Social support may moderate genetic and environmental vulnerabilities and confer resilience to stress, possibly via its effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) system, the noradrenergic system, and central oxytocin pathways. There is a substantial need for additional research and development of specific interventions aiming to increase social support for psychiatrically ill and at-risk populations.
大量研究表明,社会支持对于维持身心健康至关重要。社会支持不足的有害后果以及良好社会支持对精神疾病的保护作用已有充分记录。社会支持可能会调节遗传和环境易感性,并赋予应对压力的恢复力,这可能是通过其对下丘脑 - 垂体 - 肾上腺皮质(HPA)系统、去甲肾上腺素能系统和中枢催产素通路的影响实现的。迫切需要开展更多研究并开发具体干预措施,旨在为患有精神疾病和处于风险中的人群增加社会支持。
