Can one die of depression or sadness? Be surprised!

in esteem •  7 years ago 

Dying of sadness is a popular expression, although is it possible? I've been researching about it and I'll tell you what I found.

To start, a couple of questions that arise on this topic are: Why cancer patients and other diseases that want to live manage to overcome them more often? Why sometimes one of the partners dies shortly after the other has died?

Esta claro que tu actitud influye en tu salud. La investigación ha demostrado que las actitudes que tienes ante la vida provocan una serie de reacciones neuroendocrinológicas que influirán positiva o negativamente en tu organismo.

La película Dallas Buyers Club, narra la historia de un drogadicto al que le diagnostican SIDA y le dan un mes de vida. Sin embargo, el no esta de acuerdo con los doctores y lucha por sobrevivir, logrando sobrevivir 20 años más. ¿Hasta tanto influye tu actitud? Pues si.

De hecho, según el neuroendocrinólogo Michael Besser, se han observado personas a las que se diagnóstico erróneamente un cáncer y murieron al poco tiempo. ¿Estará esto relacionado con los mitos urbanos de supuestas videntes que adivinaron una muerte próxima?

Algunas esposas o esposos que pierden a sus compañeros, se dejan llevar por la depresión y más tarde mueren también.
I have already made it clear to you why I think depression or extreme sadness can cause death, but it can also cause another type of death; the incapacitator.

On the other hand, depression is already the main cause of disability in the world, with 121 million people suffering from it, and it is estimated that by the year 2020 it will be the second cause of sick leave in developed countries. With major depression, it is difficult to relate, work or something so simple - for healthy people - like getting out of bed.

And you do you think? Do you think that sadness can lead to death?

The question still remains... How do we personally stop depression?
