Quand le corps dit non : le stress qui démolit

Can stress and emotions contribute to the development of various diseases? Western medicine achieves spectacular results when it treats problems such as fractures or infections. However, it is less effective when it comes to issues that do not respond to rapid interventions such as surgery or drug administration. Gabor Maté supports the thesis that illness is often the means by which the organism can rebel against what the mind does not recognize. He summarizes the latest scientific discoveries on the role played by stress and an individual's emotional state in the development of cancer or chronic illnesses. According to him, understanding the mechanism of this causal relationship is essential to diagnosis.
