When it comes to “cancer personality”, which is an inauspicious “imported word”, many people have doubts: it is said that personality determines fate, but can personality really determine the occurrence and development of diseases? If so, is it true that people with the so-called “cancer personality” are “in danger”? It is clinically found that depression and cancer often occur at the same time, and some experts in the West have also classified people who often depress themselves as “cancerous personality”. In China, the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, which was written more than 2,000 years ago, has a detailed discussion on “the seven emotions cause disease”, pointing out that the human body will be affected by excessive happiness, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear and fright, which will lead to dysfunction of internal organs and cause disease. Modern medicine has also found that bad emotions can affect the endocrine system of human body, thus reducing the immunity of human body and leading to the decrease of disease resistance, which is recognized as an important internal factor in causing cancer. Phenomenon The incidence rate of cancer patients is much higher than that of the general population According to the relevant data published by the World Health Organization, the incidence rate of depression among cancer patients ranges from 20% to 45%, which is much higher than the incidence rate of 6.1% to 9.5% of the general population, and the depressive tendency of breast cancer patients is especially obvious. Data show that 2/3 of depressed patients will have suicidal thoughts, and 15-25% of patients will succeed in committing suicide. This is an irreparable wound to both themselves and their family and friends. ”A significant percentage of patients have suffered a sudden and significant blow within six months.” Especially for breast cancer patients, after surgery and radiotherapy, some of their female features are gone, and some patients may think they are physically unmanly and psychologically difficult to adjust to for a while. At this time, if combined with an inconsiderate spouse, the couple’s relationship and sex life are affected, the patient’s bad physical and mental feelings will be further reinforced. The original no depression may arise at this time, while patients who already have depression, the symptoms may be further aggravated. Question: Is a bad personality also cancer-prone? As mentioned above, it seems that people can see some similar characteristics in cancer patients with depression, such as anorexia, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, anger, despair …… In fact, these physical and even psychological “depression indicators”, even in In fact, these physical and even psychological “indicators of depression” are becoming increasingly common even in busy urbanites without cancer. In the West, some experts have labeled such people, who are calm on the surface but volcanic on the inside, often struggling to restrain their emotions and suffering from depression, as “cancerous personalities”. In particular, the British psychologist Laurence Latham, who is also a member of the British Psychological Society, is a member of this group. Experts, represented by British psychologist Professor Lawrence Latham, believe that the personality traits of patients with depression can increase the risk factors for cancer development. According to Lawrence Leyshon, Type C personality is the most common personality trait in cancer. According to Latham, type C personality has a higher risk of cancer, so it is also called “cancer personality”. However, this view has been controversial. In order to “tear apart” Lawrence Latham’s personality, it has been called “cancer personality”. In order to “tear down” the “personality label” put on cancer by experts such as Lawrence Leyson, Japanese scientists have spent 7 years to conduct personality tests and follow-up surveys on more than 30,000 volunteers, and finally came to the conclusion that cancer has nothing to do with personality! The Japanese scientists spent 7 years to conduct personality tests on more than 30,000 volunteers and followed up on them. Excessive emotions can indeed lower immunity “‘Everything labors its shape, a hundred worries shake its heart’, the influence of living habits and external environment on human body is more obvious, while the influence of personality and emotions is internal, more elusive and easy to be ignored.” Although bad personality and emotion are not determinants of cancer, they play different degrees of “accomplice” role in different people. From the perspective of modern medicine, the immune system of human body is like a loyal “sentry”, which plays a key role in monitoring and stopping the expansion and metastasis of tumors, while the influence of emotion on immune function is mainly realized through the neuroendocrine system. According to her, there is a complete regulatory network between the neuroendocrine system and the immune system. When a person has excessive anxiety, tension, anger, fear, excitement, embarrassment, depression and other bad emotions, it will affect the neuroendocrine system, which in turn will affect the normal level and action of neurotransmitters and hormones, thus reducing the body’s immunity. Although the real cause of cancer is complex and not yet clear, the decline of immunity is an inherent factor. Suggestions: Regularly clean up “emotional garbage” “At present, rectal cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, etc., which are in the top of cancer incidence, are more closely related to poor lifestyle.” As long as the habits of food, clothing, housing and transportation are unscientific and unhealthy for a long period of time, no matter what kind of personality will be “in danger”. This also explains why many people who are outgoing, cheerful and optimistic will unexpectedly encounter cancer pain. Therefore, the key to cancer prevention also lies in the cultivation of a healthy lifestyle. ”‘Cancer personality’ as a research can provide some reference value to doctors, but ordinary people need not rigidly categorize themselves by rigid application.” One-third of cancer patients die of shock. Negative analysis and hints such as “cancer personality” may create more psychological pressure on people than necessary. Moreover, even if you find that you have this kind of personality or emotional tendency, it is not impossible to change it. The most crucial point is not to repress your emotions excessively, to confide in your friends and relatives more often when you encounter something unpleasant, to clean up the “emotional garbage” regularly so that it does not “gather and ferment”. “The most important thing is not to repress your emotions too much, and to talk to your friends and relatives when you are upset.
