As a human body helps the brain work better, so mental health can influence the body.
The mind or psyche and body or soma depend on each other, So mental stress can have repercussions on the body, making it ill. Such illnesses are called psycho -somantic.
The illnesses can include ulcers, migraine, gastritis, fatigue and other illnesses possibly caused by mental stress. Until the mental cause the illness is dealt with, a cure will be difficult, if not impossible. For instance, suppose a boy is unhappy at school. He suffers mental strain in trying not to study uninteresting subjects and poor marks only make him feel worse. He sleeps badly, so is irritable and listless in the morning.
In turn, all this means that he cannot digest his food and he gets a headache. His mental condition is communicated to the body,which reacts with feelings of illness.
