Pick up the Lancet or New England Journal of Medicine or something. You can die from a "broken heart". Correlations between death, depression, anxiety, etc.

I dont believe you can die from a broken heart unless its suicide , mental stuff can self heal as long as the psyical body is not injured.

Psychological conditions are also physical changes to the system. If your brain chemistry is altered due to depression/stress etc. then your body reacts to it. Stress is actually one of the main causes of heart disease, Britain's biggest killer.

And yes, lungs can recover from smoking if you quit.

There is tons of research on it. The point is "healthy mind, healthy body" works both ways. I.e. bereavement (for instance) physically effects the heart and cardiovascular system.

'Can' does not equal 'will'.

It would be sad to be so lonely that you took up smoking, then.

 

[Brian8bit]

and anything mental can heal its self and change...

What.

Clearly because you're a smoker.

 

[Dickyb0b]

i ment for things like being depressed ,sad, and keeping you're self to you're self. this can no way kill you. The aspergers syndrome is a natraul thing so i did'nt mean that could be healed..

i did actually used to be but quit years ago something im very proud of

 

[Begbie]

A very clever man, once said to me.

Smoking kills, but smoking increases your sociability. Having no social life decreases your life expectancy.

So no social life? Start smoking, your not going to live any less.


He clearly explained that a lot better than me.

it should have had plenty of time to heal and change then

My neighbour has only ever been with her husband, he died from Cancer, 2 weeks later she died and she was a healthy lady!
