Step 1
Emotional experiences manifest themselves in different ways. Joy and fun cause motor excitement, acceleration of mental processes, a feeling of cheerfulness and energy. With negative emotions, there is a psychomotor delay, delayed perception. Not only negative emotions can be dangerous. Any unbalanced emotional experience can cause various pathologies.
Step 2
Among the types of emotions, there are weak ones in strength - moods and feelings, and strong ones - affects and passions, as well as negative ones - stress. A person is practically unable to control affects and passions. These are violent emotional experiences that noticeably affect human physiology.
Step 3
The most noticeably strong emotional experiences affect the work of the cardiovascular system. It is not for nothing that the heart has always been considered the organ responsible for the senses. With pronounced emotional experiences, a person's heart rate slows down or increases, blood pressure decreases or increases, and vascular tone changes. Such reactions can lead to heart attacks, strokes, hypertensive crises, etc.
Step 4
Changes in the functioning of various organs and systems are directed by the sympathetic nervous system, the excitation of which, during strong emotional experiences, leads to the release of adrenaline. Adrenaline causes serious changes in the work of many body systems: blood drains from the internal organs, breathing becomes more frequent, the functioning of the digestive system slows down, and blood sugar levels rise. Such reactions can cause diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, and respiratory organs.
Step 5
Strong emotional experiences, especially negative and long-term ones, lead to a decrease in the number of T-lymphocytes in the body, which protect the body from viruses and bacteria. Due to a decrease in immunity, a person becomes practically defenseless against various infections.
Step 6
Negative emotional experiences also affect the mental state of a person. Long-term stress causes depression, despair, depression, melancholy, low self-esteem, etc. In depression, a person experiences a sense of guilt, motivation and volitional activity decrease, lack of initiative, lethargy, and fatigue appear. In this state, a person can have a nervous breakdown, he is able to make a suicide attempt.
