Recent remarkable scientific discoveries have revealed that when the human mind focuses on illness, the body responds to that thought and actually becomes sick. This book, "The Sick Mind," delves into these findings. It explores the ways in which psychological and emotional states directly affect physical health, and consequently, how physical health in turn influences mental faculties. In other words, this book investigates and explains some of the extraordinary discoveries made by scientists in recent years regarding the close relationships between the brain, behavior, immunity, and health. It examines these mechanisms, which scientists are trying to isolate, to reconcile many prevailing views on the mental effects on physical and psychological health in general, and to provide a modern, in-depth look at how the brain and behavior specifically affect bodily functions.
