It is based on the idea that people who are depr

5、essed or have a lot of stress are more likely to become sick. Researchers have recently found a connection between diseases and stressful situations. To test this theory, psychoimmunologists are trying to find a link between the brain and the immune system. The immune system in our bodies fights the

6、 bacteria and viruses which cause disease. Therefore, whether or not we are likely to get various diseases depends on how well our immune system works. Biologists used to think that the immune system was a separate, independent part of our bodies. Recently, however, they have found that our brain ca

7、n affect our immune system. This discovery indicates that there may be a connection between emotional factors, such as stress or depression, and illness. Although many doctors in the past suspected a connection between emotional factors and disease, they had no proof. Scientists have only recently d

8、iscovered how the brain and the immune system function. Before this, no one could see a link between them.

11、es actually developed cold sores. The nurses who did develop cold sores were the ones who described themselves as generally unhappy people. In addition to these results, which support their theory, researchers are also looking for proof that stress can damage the immune system. Researchers studied r

12、ecently bereaved people, i. e. , people whose loved ones have just died, because they are more likely to become ill or die. By examining the immune system of recently bereaved people, the researchers made an important discovery. They examined some white blood cells, called lymphocytes, which are an

13、important part of the immune system. They were not functioning properly. The fact that they were not working correctly indicates that severe psychological stress, such as a loved ones death, may damage an important part of our immune system, namely, the lymphocytes. There is still no positive proof

14、of a connection between the immune system and psychological factors. Researchers also say that the results of the studies on bereaved people could have a different explanation. For example, bereaved people often sleep and eat less than normal, or may drink alcohol or take medication. These factors c

15、an also affect the immune system. More research is needed to clearly establish the connection between the immune system and psychological factors. 2.
