Angela will briefly review evidence that psychological state has an effect upon health and go on to explore whether cortisol may be a marker for, and a mediator of, this ‘mind-body’ link. Cortisol is an essential hormone that performs a wide range of housekeeping tasks to regulate physiological functioning across day and night. However cortisol is also the body’s main stress response hormone: these dual roles can lead to problems during exposure to chronic stress. Evidence will be presented for dysregulated diurnal patterns of cortisol secretion in relation to a range of individual differences and ill health.
