[Prevention and mitigation of psychosocial consequences of sanctions and associated exceptional circumstances in Serbia].
The population of Serbia has been living for a long time under the intensive chronic stress caused by various stressors. The psychosocial consequences of the exhaustion of adaptive strength of the citizens are more and more salient, and the final outcome is their deteriorated somatic and mental health. Recent studies of stress psychobiology have indicated that prolonged immunosuppresion caused by chronic stress may lead to serious consequences upon the citizens health in the future. The authors analyze the elements of chronic stress caused by the economic sanctions and other pressures that all the citizens of Serbia and the entire Serbian people are exposed to, and discuss the measures and activities which need to be undertaken in order to prevent and alleviate the psychosocial consequences of exceptional circumstances in the country.
