Have you ever noticed that you seem to get sick after a period of intense stress, anger or sadness? It’s not just you – there is a real link between mood and immunity.
We all know that being in a bad mood can make us feel physically worse. Imagine a day when work’s a stressful mess, you’ve forgotten a friend’s birthday, you had a bad night’s sleep and you can’t lift your mood. Whatever the reasons, you feel pretty rubbish.
It can be helpful to think back to the last time you had a fever to better understand the link. For me, this was Christmas 2019. I felt more ill than I ever have, resulting in me sobbing feverishly on the sofa while my whole family went festive ice skating .Dr Macciochi explains: “Alongside feeling unwell, you were also experiencing a suite of psychological and psychosocial changes.
Interestingly, the overlap doesn’t stop here. Feelings of depression, loneliness and low mood can all impact our energy levels and motivation, meaning we’re less likely to get out and meet up with people, or take some exercise – both of which are hugely beneficial not only physically, but mentally too.
