Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the role of personalized therapy in promoting psychophysical health among individuals living with chronic diseases. Chronic illnesses often entail both physical and psychological burdens, including fatigue, pain, depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life. The aim of this issue is to highlight integrative, patient-centered therapeutic approaches that address not only biomedical symptoms but also emotional and cognitive well-being. Contributions may focus on multidisciplinary interventions, including personalized medicine, psychotherapy, physiotherapy, mindfulness, digital tools, and lifestyle-based approaches. Emphasis is placed on tailored care that considers individual differences in biology, personality, social context, and coping strategies. This issue welcomes original research, clinical studies, theoretical models, and other types that examine how personalized therapeutic pathways can enhance resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life in the context of chronic illness.
