 stress is the archetypical mind-body disease. Your mind's perceptions cause your body to malfunction. It's well known that stress suppresses and weakens your immune system--your first line of defense against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.
Your reaction to stress lowers your body's white blood cell count which reduces your system's ability to heal itself. Genetically, some individuals are born with disadvantaged metabolic function or have a tendency towards biochemical imbalances.
