The adverb is a regular formation from the adjective 'psychosocial', whose meaning is transparently built from 'psycho-' + 'social'.
Etymology
Psychosocially comes from two parts: psycho- (as in psychology) meaning 'mind' and social meaning 'living with others'. So, to be affected psychosocially is to be touched both in your 'mind' and in your life with other people.
