Diseases of unresponsive emotion Our bodies have one evolutionarily based response, "fight or flight". In stressful situations, our brains demand action from our bodies - fleeing from the problem or solving it. If such urges are suppressed, the aforementioned diseases can develop. A typical example of such suppression is resentment toward one's boss. The excitement in the brain that should have gone to the centers responsible for the work of the internal organs (vegetative centers) and to the motor centers (so that there is an opportunity to "beat or run") goes only to the vegetative centers. What happens is their excessive excitation - excessive release of noradrenaline and adrenaline, which leads to a sharp increase in blood pressure, tachycardia, spasm of blood vessels in the organs, increased formation of many hormones and so on. Diseases of unregulated emotions include arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, stomach and 12 duodenal ulcers, hyperthyroidism, and more.
