80% of breast cancers are the fault of depression?

A reference to “cancer personality” is not auspicious, “Exotic word”, many people are skeptical about: say that decided the fate of personality, but personality really can determine the occurrence of diseases and development? Should this happen, the so-called “cancer personality “Is it really” is doomed? “In this regard, the Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine First Affiliated Hospital, Cancer Center Director Professor Lin Lizhu analysis, clinical findings, depression and cancer are often simultaneously, the West, some experts also will often suppress their own people classified as “cancer personality” clan.

In China, more than two thousand years ago, “Huang Di Nei Jing” is already on the “Seven Emotions disease” has discussed in detail, pointing out that the human body in excessive joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear, panic under the influence will be there organs dysfunction and disease. Modern medicine also found that negative emotions can affect the body’s endocrine system, thereby reducing the person’s immunity, leading to a decline in disease resistance, which is recognized as an important internal factors carcinogenic.

Phenomenon

The incidence of cancer is much higher than the general population

“With our clinical analysis of the data accumulated and found that up to 80% of breast cancer patients have varying degrees of depression.” LIN Li-zhu introduced, according to data released by the World Health Organization, cancer patients the incidence of depression ranged from 20% ~ 45%, significantly higher than the general population 6.1% ~ 9.5% incidence of depression in patients with breast cancer and the tendency is particularly evident. Data show that depressed patients have 2 / 3 will have suicidal thoughts, while 15% ~ 25% of patients commit suicide successfully. This is their own and relatives, is a kind of irreparable injury.

“A significant proportion of patients within six months had encountered unexpected blow.” LIN Li-zhu pointed out that, especially in patients with breast cancer, after surgery, radiotherapy, after some of the characteristics of women did not, and some patients may think that their bodies are not male – women find it difficult to adjust psychologically over. Then if you add a spouse is not thoughtful, husband and wife relationship and sex life are affected, patients with poor physical and mental feelings will be further strengthened. There is no depression when the original may have, but patients have depression symptoms may be further accentuated.

Question: bad character is also easy to do cause cancer?

As mentioned above, suffered from depression in cancer patients, people can see some similar characteristics, such as anorexia, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, anger, despair … … LIN Li-zhu pointed out that, in fact, even in those body mentally The “depression indicators”, even in the absence of cancer of the busy city people who are increasingly more common. In the West, there are experts that the surface calm, but inside, such as volcanic eruptions, often strongly restrain their emotions, a family of highly suppressed torture known as a “cancer personality” label. Especially the British psychologist Professor Lawrence Clarkson on behalf of the experts believe that depression in patients with cancer of the character traits can increase the risk factors. Lawrence Clarkson view, C-type character, a larger risk of cancer, so-called “cancer personality.”

However, this view has been controversial. In order to “tear” of cancer experts such as Lawrence Clarkson labeled “Character label”, the Japanese scientists have once spent seven years on more than 30000 volunteers personality test and follow-up survey, the final conclusion: cancer has nothing to do with the character! while smoking, drinking, staying up late and other unhealthy lifestyles discuss Aimo favor.
Expert: extreme emotion can indeed reduce the immune system

” ‘Everything is labor of its shape, 100 worries shake their hearts’, living habits and the external environment on the human body more obvious, but the character and emotional impact is inherent, and more elusive, easy to be ignored.” LIN Li-zhu that bad personality and mood, though not carcinogenic determinants, but in different people who also play in different degrees of “accomplice” effect.

“As early as more than two thousand years ago, the” Yellow Emperor “on the right ‘impassioned pathogenic’ exposition, pointing out that the human body in excessive joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear, panic under the influence, there will be dysfunctional organs, so pathogenic. “LIN Li-zhu from the perspective of Chinese medicine, said Xi Nu Concerned sad expression of fear that frightened these emotions would be redeployed to the blood changes in humans, while the blood itself is to maintain the normal operation of the internal organs of the material basis for blood once there have been considerable changes in organs is bound to be affected and even disease, liver injury, such as anger, joy grief, thinking injured spleen, sadness lung, kidney, and so fear of injury. “Three Kingdoms” as described in Zhou Yu Zhuge Liang drives you nuts, and “Scholars” in the Fan Xi-Ju Chin, who was crazy, are “Seven Emotions disease,” a classic example.

LIN Li-zhu also from the point of view of modern medicine, said the body’s immune system is like the dedicated “sentinel” in monitoring and preventing the transfer of tumor extension and plays a critical role, while the emotional impact on the immune function mainly through the neuro-endocrine system to achieve. According to her introduction, the neuroendocrine system and immune system exists between the regulation of a complete network, when someone appears excessive anxiety, tension, anger, fear, excitement, distress, depression and other negative emotions, it will affect the neuroendocrine system, and then affect neurotransmitters and hormones and the role of normal levels, thereby reducing the body’s immune system.

“Although the real cause of cancer rather complicated, it is not very clear, but the decline in the body’s immune system is recognized as the intrinsic factor.” LIN Li-zhu warned.

Recommendation: regular cleaning of “emotional garbage”

“At present, came in the forefront of the incidence of rectal cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer and so on, and the closer the relationship between unhealthy lifestyles.” LIN Li-zhu special emphasis, as long as the basic needs of the long-term scientific habits, unhealthy, no matter what character are equally “In the doomed.” This also explains why a lot of outgoing, bright and optimistic person will not help the invasion of cancer pain experience. Therefore, the key to cancer prevention lies in the cultivation of a healthy lifestyle.

” ‘Cancer personality’ as a research will give doctors some reference value, but ordinary people do not need hard and fast classification be applied mechanically to yourself.” LIN Li-zhu pointed out that 1 / 3 of cancer patients is to give scared to death. Like a “cancer personality” like the negative analysis and tips on the people may have a greater psychological pressure, it is not necessary. Moreover, even if found that they have this kind of personality or emotional tendencies, nor can not be changed, the most critical point is not to suppress their emotions too, encountered more composure whenever things to talk to relatives and friends, regular cleaning of “emotional garbage”, so that It does not “gather heap fermentation” or even “trouble-making” opportunities. In addition, Chinese medicine treatment in the regulation of negative emotion has a better effect.
