Abstract: The review article reveals the role of mental as well as biological phenomena working
behind immunity. In recent times, irresistible illnesses and inflammation have been thought to be
hereditary or the result of the natural working mechanism of the human body in response to the
pathogenic variables working inside the human system. In the past few years, the importance of
psychological adjustments, mental well-being and eating habits has been studied and shown to have
a marked effect on immunity. Psychoneuroimmunology considers that mental disorders are strongly
interrelated with the resistant reaction. Besides, the immunological components control the wellbeing
of the individual. Psychosocial mediations help reduce disease severity and enhance the functioning
of the immune system. Nutrition plays a vital role in immunity and thus has an influence on
our mental health.
