What is the relationship between the occurrence and prognosis of cancer and human emotions? To prevent cancer, please control your emotions

Cancer is a large type of disease that seriously threatens human life and health and has not yet been conquered by humans.

Scientists have conducted extensive research on cancer for a long time. Although they have not been able to fully understand the cause of cancer, they have confirmed that there are more than 3,000 chemical substances that can cause cancer. Ionizing radiation, ultraviolet rays, chronic mechanical stimulation, certain viral infections, aflatoxin, etc. are also carcinogenic factors. It cannot be ignored that negative emotions are also a trigger for cancer.

Emotion is a person's attitude experience towards objective things and related behavioral responses.

The generation of emotions is characterized by personal experience. Only events that are perceived by oneself, related to life and cause perception will generate emotions and form pressure in one's own interpretation. Therefore, the pressure felt by each person when facing the same event will be different, and the emotions generated will also be different.

Generally speaking, after interpreting the perceived events, if they meet one's own psychological needs, positive and affirmative emotional experiences and behaviors will be generated, while if they do not meet one's own psychological needs, negative and negative emotional experiences and behaviors will be generated. The former is called benign emotion, and the latter is called bad emotion.

Ancient Chinese medical scientists have long known that worry and anger can cause poor blood circulation in the human body and dysfunction of the internal organs, which can eventually develop into cancer.

At present, it is found in clinical practice that lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, and pancreatic cancer are all significantly affected by emotions: people with depressed emotions are prone to lung cancer; psychological factors closely related to stomach cancer include introversion, depression, and mental trauma during adolescence; breast cancer is related to unresolved sadness; people who are more distant from others and prone to trouble are more likely to suffer from digestive system and lymphatic system cancers than ordinary people; people with melancholy personalities and who do not show their emotions are 15 times more likely to suffer from cancer than those with cheerful personalities. These facts all show that negative emotions are the most effective medium for the generation and development of cancer cells, and are also the killer of the high incidence of cancer.

Today, more and more doctors have noticed that many cancer patients often have extremely sad things happen to them or suffer serious mental trauma before they get sick. A British cancer expert surveyed 250 cancer patients and found that 156 of them had serious mental trauma before they got sick. Another scholar surveyed 405 cancer patients and found that 72% of them had emotional crises. Others have analyzed a large number of cancer patients' literature and believe that depression, disappointment and difficult to get rid of sadness, such as marital discord, family disputes, broken love, widowhood, and rough life experiences, are all important causes of cancer. Although some cancer patients do not have serious mental trauma before they get sick, they are in a state of depression, pessimism and disappointment for a long time. Some people call this type of personality C-type personality, and this type of person is also prone to cancer.

Why do negative emotions and psychological tension, depression, and trauma increase people's cancer risk? It turns out that in a healthy human body, although normal cells may mutate into cancer cells under the influence of carcinogenic factors, the human immune system is always monitoring them and can destroy or eliminate them in time to prevent cancer from occurring. However, psychological tension, depression, and trauma can cause dysfunction of the central nervous system and weaken the immune function. Once the immune system cannot fully play its protective role in the body, it is difficult to eliminate possible cancer cells, and the chance of cancer naturally increases.

Once you have cancer, it is also important to maintain a good mental state, which can enable the patient to have a good immune function to fight against cancer. In clinical practice, we can see that many cancer patients have a strong belief in defeating cancer, are optimistic and happy, and can cooperate well with doctors in surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments. As a result, they not only have good therapeutic effects, relieve their symptoms, prolong their survival time, but can even completely cure cancer. However, in daily life, we often see some patients who are frightened and at a loss as soon as they hear that they have cancer, and they are anxious all day long. This kind of mental defeat is not only not conducive to fighting against cancer, but is frightened by cancer. As a result, such people do not die from cancer in the end, but from mental breakdown.

Therefore, after understanding that a person's mental state is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer and the improvement and deterioration of the disease, we should pay great attention to personal mental health. You know, a healthy mentality and a good character can not only improve physical fitness and enable people to have better social adaptability, but also have important significance for reducing the incidence of cancer and defeating cancer.
