Can listening to ghost stories affect people's physical and mental health?

Listening to ghost stories has a great influence on people's psychological and physical health.

Negative effects:

(1) It is easy for people to enter an imaginary state and scare themselves.

(2) Horrified scenes and plots will form the mark of terror. Once you encounter a certain stimulus, you will immediately recall the horrible memory and be frightened.

(3) It is frightening, which makes people release adrenocortical hormone, which makes the heart beat faster, muscles contract, and makes people in an excited state. This is a primitive emergency response and an instinctive response of animals to avoid danger quickly. However, if the degree of shock is too high, the muscle contraction is too strong, which oppresses the blood vessels and makes people faint due to insufficient blood supply. Long-term exposure to this stimulus can easily lead to mental illness (depression, schizophrenia, etc. ).

(4) Affect people's sleep quality, such as insomnia and waking up at night.

(5) People who are weak and seriously ill are prone to death due to shock.

(6) Children are young, frightened too much, timid all their lives, and full of strangeness and fear of society, which urges children to rely too much on their parents and relatives.

Positive impact:

Listening to stories in front of them and enjoying them with a calm mind can cultivate scientific literacy, develop a brave and determined character, and produce a good psychological literacy of wit and calmness in any crisis and terror.

Suggestion:

Establish a good mentality of listening to stories, actively think about the countermeasures of problems, and improve the ability to solve problems.

When you are nervous and afraid, remind yourself that this is just a story, don't worry.

If you have an immersive fantasy, remind yourself to be strong and brave, and everything will be fine. I can face all disasters.
