Brain-Body Interactions
The brain affects the body, and likewise, the body affects the brain. These brain-body reactions have sweeping effects on mental health. Reactions, such as fear, and incidents, such as child abuse and neglect, can cause a patient to suffer for many years, and also place a burden on the healthcare system.
