This is how sadness, stress and bad character make us sick

• You cannot live well in a prolonged emergency situation and the body ends up suffering from it with increased blood pressure, triggering latent autoimmune disorders, facilitating infections, etc.

• Crying is a mechanism that relieves internal tension, very useful as a specific form of relief, but it is important not to be anchored in crying because it enslaves and victimizes the person

No, it is not a 'Chinese' tale, nor an esoteric neo-hippie 'move'. Somatizing is not feeling a discomfort that only exists in the mind, as if it were an illusion. Our body and our emotions are much more connected than we think. Soraya Bajat, Head of Psychology at the Sanitas La Zarzuela University Hospital and Head of Mental Health at the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital (Madrid), explains how our emotional state influences our health.

Why mind and body are much more connected than we think and is not a 'zen roll' The mind and, therefore, our emotions, are the brain in action. Broadly speaking, the brain consists of the anterior or neocortex, which is the rational or thinking brain, the middle part, the limbic system, which is the emotional brain, and the posterior part, which is the instinctive brain. All three parts are connected to each other, and the midbrain is linked through the autonomic nervous system to the rest of the body.

, messengers of thoughts, and the body receives these chemical messages and activates corresponding reactions, feeling exactly as the brain thinks. We have neurotransmitters that are responsible for chemical messages between neurons, neuropeptides in the midbrain, hypothalamus, where the pituitary gland is, which is the master gland that opens all the glands, telling the glands of the body to produce hormones that give instructions to the body and they create the feelings. The body's hormonal centers are the pituitary, pineal, thyroid, thymus, adrenal, digestive, and sexual glands. Therefore, it is important to understand that the mind is body, mind and body are part of the same whole, they are not two independent or separate realities.Is there a difference between psychosomatizing and this real connection between our state of mind and our health? There is no difference; the term psychosomatic refers to the mind-body connection. The main thing here is to explain what is meant by psychosomatic disorder or illness. Many people consider that somatizing is synonymous with inventing, of perceiving a discomfort that does not exist, which is the product of the mind, as if it were an illusion. That is an erroneous belief, the term psychosomatic refers exclusively to the cause of the illness or discomfort, not to the reality of it. Pain, physical discomfort or illness is real, the only thing that we indicate with the term is its origin.The main thing here is to explain what is meant by psychosomatic disorder or illness.

Since in both cases there is an excessive secretion of gastric juices that end up eroding the walls of the stomach, the result is the same, although for different reasons. Psychosomatic disorders or illnesses are considered to be those in which the emotional state of the patient plays an important factor as a trigger, aggravating or maintaining the physical illness that the patient has. Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (such as rheumatic diseases), digestive and muscular disorders and those that cause chronic pain are some examples of disorders where the emotional state of the patient plays a very important role. How do emotions affect us? The emotional state, both positive and negative, affects the body directly through biochemistry,secreting substances that favor or harm the general state of health, as well as indirectly, since depending on the mood we are better or worse predisposed to lead a healthy lifestyle, to comply with medical prescriptions and to carry correct self-care habits . Emotions are expressed through the body, we feel according to what we think and we think according to what we feel. Being in a calm state of mind leads to a relaxed body, while mental conflict involves bodily tension.we feel according to what we think and we think according to what we feel.

according to them. As neuroscience has shown, positive emotions (love, joy, gratitude, etc.) increase IgA as well as negative emotions (fear, anger, sadness, etc.) decrease it, affecting our immune system, hence the field current study of psychoneuroimmunology. Based on the ABC theory of psychology, where A is a stressful event, B the subject who manages the event and C the consequence derived from the management, if the consequence of the management is positive the subject will have health by balance and if it is negative have a biochemical imbalance disorder. What happens in our body when we are stressed? How does cortisol affect our immune system? Stress as an experiential reaction to pressure, overload,To real or imagined danger it generates a cascade of chemicals from stress hormones, cortisol and catecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline). In the face of real or imaginary threat or danger, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, which in turn activates the adrenal gland to mobilize a lot of energy to fight, flee, etc. through the segregation of these stress hormones. Natural, adaptive design is the short-term stress response for an emergency, not the long-term. The human response to stress can be activated with a simple thought and can last longer than it should be harmful to health. Stress can be due to external stimuli or internal stimuli such as anticipation, 'negative futurization' or traumatic memories that turn the stressful situation from short to long.You cannot live well in a prolonged emergency situation and the body ends up suffering from it with increased blood pressure, triggering latent autoimmune disorders, facilitating infections, etc.

. Hence, stress can go from being an adaptive response to an emergency situation to a maladaptive behavior with a detrimental effect on the body. Psychologically, cortisol and catecholamines generate emotions of anger, fear, hatred, promote feelings of aggressiveness, frustration, anxiety, insecurity and cause experiences of pain, suffering and sadness. Therefore, it is important to learn proper emotional management to avoid chronic stress due to the negative psychological and physiological effects that it causes. And sadness, what mark does it leave us? Is it good to cry to release the ballast we carry inside? Sadness is a negative emotion that can be motivated or reactive, being in this case a normal or adaptive feeling as a consequence of bad news or adverse situation,Just as there is also vital or unmotivated sadness that is harmful, since it is not an adaptation mechanism but a constant state of emotional discomfort. When sadness is sustained, the body produces a biochemical state of decreased serotonin and norepinephrine, its persistence affects the immune system by affecting gene expression. Other physical symptoms associated with sadness due to serotonergic and noradrenergic hypoactivity are fatigue, decreased strength and physical endurance, muscular hypotonia, and greater perception of pain. In addition to the impact on the immune level, lack of vital energy, there is a lack of motivation that indirectly interferes with the general state of health by making it difficult for the person to lead a correct lifestyle and self-care guidelines.since it is not an adaptation mechanism but a constant state of emotional distress.

, very useful as a specific form of relief,

. It is important not to repress sadness, you have to live your experience and transcend it. And joy? Joy is a positive affect that involves the secretion of related chemicals such as

It stimulates the gene expression of healthy proteins, all the biochemistry will ultimately affect the gene system, activating the expression of proteins related to health or disease genes.

As science has shown, genes do not make us sick, but epigenetics make us sick, the environment (biochemical, cellular, emotional) is what favors the gene showing one expression or another, and the state of joy favors those related to a better health.

While sadness is constriction, joy is expansion;

that is,

.

As well as, on a psychological level, it facilitates the effort of leading a healthier lifestyle.
