Scientists are now studying a new field of research called
psychoimmunology.It is based on the idea that people who are
depressed or have a lot of stressare more likely to become
sick.Researchers have recently found a connectionbetween diseases
and stressful situations.To test this theory’psychoim-munologists
are trying to find a l ink between the brain and the immune
system.The immune system in our bodies fights the bacteria and
viruses which causedisease.Therefore,whether or not we are l ikely
to get various diseasesdepends on how well our immune system
works.Biologists used to think thatthe immune system was a
separate,independent part of our bodies.Recently,however,they have
found that our brain can affect our immune system.Thisdiscovery
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 emotionalfactors
and disease’they had no proof.Scientists have only
recentlydiscovered how the brain and the immune system
function.Before this,no onecould see a link between them.As a
result,medical science never seriouslyconsidered the idea that
psychological factors could cause disease.Several recent studies
showed a connection between stress and
illness.Forexample,researchers went to an American military school
to study thestudents.By studying the cadets’blood,they found that
many were infectedwith a virus which causes mononuclepsis,a common
glandular disease.Of theinfected students.only 5 percent actually
became ill.The sick cadets had a lotof academic pressure and wanted
to achieve,but they were not very goodstudents.In a similar
study,researchers studied a group of student nurses.
