There is such a case: the exam is coming, and Xiao Li is out of breath because of the intense and heavy study. These days, she is often inexplicably agitated and anxious. At night, when she can finally be alone, she can't sleep.
The expert arranged a special game course for Xiao Li. Xiao Li wears a microelectrode similar to an earphone on his head, and the other end of the earphone is connected to the computer through a wire. Start the program and the game interface appears on the computer screen. Accompanied by relaxed music, Xiao Li gradually relaxed and entered the game. Faced with the funny and lovely Flash animation and interesting questions on the screen, Xiao Li's brain wave signal was transmitted to the computer equipment. He manipulated the game process with the radio waves coming from his head and passed all the way.
After the game, the symptoms of tension disappeared and the whole person was completely relaxed. After several such game lessons, Xiao Li smiled and said, "I slept soundly these days." This is biofeedback therapy. "At present, this treatment method has been tried in China. Through this kind of treatment, which is similar to controlling brain thoughts, the patient's emotional fluctuation can be stabilized, and the body function can be regulated and controlled.
Some people are particularly excited at ordinary times. When they encounter difficulties or slightly unsatisfactory things in life, they are anxious, nervous and afraid all day. People with this personality are prone to high blood pressure.
Some people are naturally optimistic, while others are easily pessimistic and disappointed. People with depressed personality are prone to depression when they encounter unsatisfactory things, lose interest and happiness in work and activities, are worried, and sometimes have suicidal thoughts, which makes them prone to depression.
There should be an interactive relationship between personality and health, which is what we often call physical and mental balance. When a person is in a good mood, his body will be good, and when he is in good health, his mood will naturally be comfortable.
Strong will and perseverance can enhance human immunity. Immunity is regulated and dominated by nervous system and endocrine system. The nervous system consists of central nerves (brain and peripheral nerves). These two systems regulate and dominate the immune system through nerve fibers and hormones, and the immune system also regulates the nervous system and endocrine system, so that the body can maintain a dynamic balance with the outside world and maintain health. Once a link breaks down and its self-regulation is hindered, it may affect the function of other systems and cause diseases.
For example, women's mental and emotional disorders and irregular life will lead to menstrual disorders, and breastfeeding can be stopped during breastfeeding. According to the statistics of American Anti-Cancer Association, about 10% of cancer patients can heal themselves, which shows that strong will and perseverance stimulate the body to produce enkephalin-like substances, enhance the body's immunity, and produce strong anti-cancer power and even self-healing power in the body.
After understanding the relationship between immunity and nerves and endocrine, it is not difficult to understand the importance of personality factors to health.
Optimism, contentment, friendliness and a calm and peaceful mind can stimulate the human body to release a lot of healthy hormones. The brain can synthesize more than 50 kinds of beneficial substances to instruct its own immune function, and its functional state often determines people's susceptibility and resistance to diseases.
Panic, self-isolation, sensitivity, suspicion, sentimentality, or too competitive, or too pursuit of perfection, are easy to cause intense internal conflicts and interpersonal tensions, thus inhibiting and combating immune surveillance functions and inducing or aggravating diseases.
At present, the influence of a person's personality on some psychological diseases is very positive in medicine, such as depression and other nervous system diseases mentioned just now, which are all related to a person's personality.
