CHRONIC DISEASES, AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES AND OTHERS ILLNESSES

Cronic, autoimmune and others illnesses (cancer, heart diseases, heart attacks, respiratory diseases, diabetes, alopecia areata, arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Lyme’s disease, obesity, etc).

The World Health Organization defines health as a state of physical, mental and social well-being and not simply the absence of illness or weakness, that is, health does not exist without mental health. Mental health and physical health have a two-way relationship. People with chronic physical conditions put their mental health at risk, and poor mental health is a risk factor for chronic physical conditions. Thus, diabetes and heart disease are associated with anxiety, depression and panic disorder, arthritis, gastrointestinal diseases and asthma are associated with anxiety and depression, obesity is associated with depression and eating disorders, etc.
