"The Chicago Seven: Diseases we acquire through emotionWhat is the Chicago Seven?
It's a list of classic psychosomatic diseases. Here are what diseases doctors believe have psychosomatic roots:
- Arterial hypertension;
- Peptic ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum;
- Inflammatory bowel disease (non-specific ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease);
- Neurodermitis (atopic dermatitis);
- Bronchial asthma;
- Thyrotoxicosis (thyroid hyperfunction);
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
What can help?
- A smile.
A smile, even if it is strained, still provokes positive emotions and improves the condition.
- Massage
It helps to relax both body and soul. And muscle tone has a positive effect on our mind and mood.
- Sports
The emotional lift after a good workout is similar to a prolonged euphoria.
- Psychotherapy
Allows us to form new patterns of behavior through which we begin to live our emotions instead of hiding them inside.
