(2020) Using psychoneuroimmunity against COVID-19, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity (2020), doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbi.2020.03.025 2020-05-13 .txt text/plain 1159 58 41 A recent survey conducted on the Italian population during the pandemic showed there is a widespread state of psychological distress among them (i.e. anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and more) , as confirmed in other survey involving three Europe countries: Italy, Spain and United Kingdom (see Tab. 1). Moreover, predictive analyses showed that mental health of a large proportion of the population in Italy, United Kingdom and Spain is at high risk for stress, anxiety and depression (41%, 42% and 46% respectively), due to socio-economic vulnerability and worsened conditions since the pandemic onset (Open Evidence, 2020). We believe that a rational approach based on psychoneuroendocrineimmunology (PNEI), the paradigm built on the two-way relationship between the psychological and biological systems in environmental and social contexts (Ader, 2007; Bottaccioli & Bottaccioli, 2020) , could provide an appropriate model for the identification of risk and resilience factors in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection. ./cache/cord-272319-jtr7wi6c.txt ./txt/cord-272319-jtr7wi6c.txt
