Can one literally die from loneliness? Is there a link between expressing emotions and Alzheimer's disease? Is there such a thing as a "cancer personality"? "When the Body Says No" answers challenging questions about the mind-body connection and the role that stress and one's emotional makeup play in various common illnesses such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and multiple sclerosis. The answers are derived from extensive scientific research and the acclaimed clinical work of Dr. Gabor Maté.
