The immune system in our bodies fight the bacteria and virus which cause
disease. Therefore, whether or not we are likely to get various diseases depends on how
well our immune system work. Biologist used to think that the immune system was
separate, independent part of our bodies. Recently, however, they have found that our
brain can affect our immune system. This discovery indicates that there may be a
connection between emotional factors, such as stress or depression, and illness.
Several recent studies showed a connection between stress and illness. For
example, researchers went to an America military school to study the students. By
studying in the cadets’ blood, they found that many were infected with a virus which
causes mononucleosis, a common glandular disease. Of the infected students, only 5%
actually became ill. The sick cadets had a lot of academic pressure and wanted to achieve,
but they were not very good students. In a similar study, researchers studied a group of
student nurses. They focused on cold sores, which are also caused by a common virus.
Many student nurses carried the virus in their blood, but few of these infected nurses
actually developed cold sores. The nurses who did develop cold sores were the one who
described themselves as generally unhappy people.
