Examples of emotions affecting physical and mental health

A patient, at a young age, went on a hunger strike with his mother because of marriage and love problems. In the end, she beat her mother and married a man she didn't love. About half a year before marriage, she often felt pain in her hip joint, and sometimes it was so painful that she could hardly walk. At that time, she was only 27 years old. All kinds of tests found nothing wrong with her hip joint.

However, after she got married for half a year, this is a rare opportunity. She traveled outside with her good friends for more than ten days, and the pain in her hip joint was much better. After returning to marriage and family, it broke out again. Until her son was born, she suddenly had emotional sustenance and the problem of hip joint was basically improved.

The relationship and interaction between emotion and health is still an area we need to study. When people suffer from physical diseases and are depressed, the speed of disease eroding the body will be greatly accelerated. I wonder why people at this time don't have positive emotions to fight diseases. Later, I managed to find a reason. Sometimes the depressed mood is to help the disease kill itself faster and relieve the pain through self-death.

The most common illusion about emotions is that we are the masters of emotions.

No, we are by no means emotional masters. In many ways, we are all slaves to emotions. We still have a long way to go in regulating health with emotions.
