Psychosomatic causes of colds in children and adults

The common cold in adults and children is quite common, especially in the cold season. And most often, the explanations for it are quite blurry: hypothermia, reduced immunity, viruses and bacteria that have taken advantage of reduced immunity. But we freeze more often than the disease, and the world around is literally teeming with bacteria and viruses, but one person gets sick and the other does not (even after contact with infected). It turns out that only those who allow it can get a cold.

This article focuses on the psychosomatic causes of colds.

There is no such disease as “cold” in medical reference books. This is a popular name for several diseases at once: flu, ARVI, herpes infection, rhinitis, sore throat, bronchitis and many other respiratory (and not only) ailments.

Cold has nothing to do with it. Overcooling of the body can only lead to a decrease in immune functions, which makes it likely that one of the viruses circulating during the cold season will become infected.. But without hypothermia, adults and children are infected with influenza or ARVI. And the hotter and more stuffy the room is, the higher the chance of infection.

The human body is able to fight with a variety of threats, viruses and bacteria - this struggle will be invisible and imperceptible for the person himself. But this continues only as long as the person feels the strength to breathe deeply and to cope with all the tasks. A cold attacks when there is no strength to defend (this is what the doctors say, implying a decrease in immunity).

therefore the main psychosomatic cause of colds in children and adults is fatigue. People who are tired are not too happy with how things are going, and by themselves, tired and not wanting to go to work or school for classes, in kindergarten, they get sick because they allow themselves to get sick. AND the disease they need as a rest from everything that is so tired. The subconscious very quickly reacts to such a state. If it is possible to lie down, then the disease passes quickly enough.because everything goes according to a subconscious scenario. If you still have to go to work, there is no opportunity to go to the hospital, then the program is considered unfulfilled, and the disease is delayed, complicated by secondary infections - this is how the body insistently demands that a person take a pause and rest.

Please note that such diseases usually start in the cold season - in winter and in the offseason.

In infants, the diseases appear mainly due to a general suppressed parental background.. Mom is exhausted and tired, dad - not better - in such a situation the child will intuitively feel anxiety, from which he will eventually get tired too.

Often the so-called catarrhal diseases occur against the background of predisposing factors.These include diligently repressed anger and irritation. This starts the flu with a high fever..

Fears before some events and the lack of confidence of a person in his abilities (for example, before an important conference or exams, before a matinee or a test) good soil for the development of ARVI with low temperature.

Affect the incidence and generally accepted claims and attitudes. Every child since childhood knows that they get sick most often in the cold. When these cold periods come, he is absolutely sure that he can get sick at any moment, which is what happens.. If a person considers himself ill often (he was sick in childhood, he was sick in his youth), what can change in adulthood? Often, children are ill in families where they are constantly, tirelessly and persistently looking after. Oddly enough, but it is.

All of the above does not contradict traditional medicine. If the sick person passes the tests, they will not show him with restrained anger or anxiety before an important event. They will show what pathogen caused the disease - a virus, a bacterium. And it will be right. Man created the soil for the disease, the disease came. In fact, it was first caused by a virus or bacterium immediately after the subconscious responded to the wishes and emotions of the person.

Not everyone is sick during the cold season. There are quite a few people who go without a scarf and do not get sick, but there are those who are trying their best to protect themselves: they are engaged in prevention, inoculations, but they still get sick. Experts in the field of psychology drew attention to the fact that an adult or a child who often suffers from catarrhal ailments has a well-defined personality.

If we talk about children, these are usually very emotional guys, with a vulnerable and fragile nervous system, hyperactive children. If a schoolboy or kindergartener has absolutely no motivation to go to school or kindergarten with pleasure and interest, then he will certainly get sick often. It all depends on the parents, in whose power to present the need to attend school and kindergarten. In adolescence, motivation is needed qualitatively different - focus on the profession, training, to achieve goals.

Among adults, people with unstable mentality are most susceptible to seasonal ailments, which are easy to bring to tears, who quickly give up their goals., if suddenly something goes wrong, as they had planned.

Other extreme - workaholicsaccustomed to taking on more responsibilities than they can actually fulfill. And another category of frequently ill adults is lazy people.

From the point of view of psychosomatics, prevention cannot only consist of vaccination and hardening, saturation of the body with vitamins (although all these measures are extremely important in order to try to survive the cold period of the year without significant loss of time and energy for the disease).

The psychology of the disease is such that in order to prevent it, it is important to control your emotions. If anger or resentment overwhelms, it is better to throw them out at something, sending energy to the creative channel. - go with the child to the courtyard and build from the snow an exact copy of the boss that made you angry, for example.

As for children, it is important to teach them to speak their emotions as early as possible so that they can also express their negative feelings with words. Pay attention to the need for a child to communicate with adults. Quite often, children get the flu or ARVI just because they want to attract attention forever busy adults. After all, every kid knows for sure that if he gets sick, how will mom stay at home, not go to work, and dad will come early and bring something tasty or a new toy. If a child has enough attention in everyday life, he will not need to be ill.

Thus, having familiarized with psychosomatic colds, you become aware of what negative thoughts or emotions can cause illness. Try not to overwork and keep yourself in good shape. Play sports, maintain good relations with family and friends, have a good rest - in this case, all ills will bypass you.
