How to treat constipation?

I have abnormal bowel movements. Some days, I defecate once in the mornings, other times 2-3 days can pass without a stool. I take 2 daily capsules of psyllium husks. Should I increase this amount? I'm aiming for a healthy stool once daily.

Is stress a cause of constipation?
