People with back pain may be depressed

I've been doing well these days, but I'm wondering if I've become addicted to it since I got a backache from physical labor when I was young.

I caught it in my ear for a moment, but what, "Psychological stress is the cause of back pain being hard to heal", that is, mental stress causes back pain. It feels like eh.

Of all the back pain, there is a back pain for which the clear cause of "I don't know why I didn't do exercise but I have a back pain" cannot be identified.

It is called "non-specific low back pain", but there are cases where low back pain occurs due to problems with the lower back itself = posture or movement, and cases where low back pain occurs due to brain function problems = psychological stress . Because.

Psychological stress that can cause low back pain includes "dissatisfaction with work," "anxiety about the future," "due to relationships," and "anxiety about illness."
This "anxiety about illness" is anxiety that feels like "I wonder if I will have back pain again."

And when stress causes a malfunction in brain function, it may affect the autonomic nerves and parasympathetic nerves, or it causes insufficient blood flow to muscles and causes various illnesses.

I stress to the sick of the cause, such as "headache", "diarrhea, constipation," "gastrointestinal disorder", "nausea", "palpitations" and the like as a typical, "stiff neck", "back pain" also stress the cause of circulation unseasonable It is said that it will happen in.

And that Nikki "Gickly waist". It's scary, isn't it?
Psychological stress seems to increase the risk of occurrence due to imbalance of posture during work .

It is dangerous to work with anxiety in your mind!
And there is a vicious cycle in which psychological stress increases and the risk of squeaking increases due to anxiety that "I may get sick again ...".

Back pain is a danger signal for "depression"

A process in which psychological stress causes a malfunction in brain function = mental damage, which causes illness.

that? Is this the same as depression?

is what I think.

If unexplained back pain is caused by psychological stress, it may be said that mental illness is suspected and it is a sign of "depression".

In fact, I often had back pain when I was suffering from depression.
I don't have heavy luggage, I don't exercise hard, and I don't know the cause, but I'm soaked in the osteopathic clinic and get along with the acupuncturist's teacher.

According to the Health Guidance Resource Guide ,

When exposed to such stress, the mechanism called the "descending pain suppression system" in which the brain suppresses pain becomes difficult to work. When this mechanism works normally, when a pain signal is transmitted to the brain, a neurotransmitter called "dopamine" is released into the brain. Then, an analgesic substance called "opioid" is released, and the pain signal to the brain is suppressed.

However, when exposed to stress for a long time, even if a pain signal is transmitted to the brain, "dopamine" is not released, and the secretion of a substance in the brain called "serotonin" that maintains nerve balance also decreases. As a result, the mechanism for suppressing pain does not work, and even a slight pain feels strong or the pain is prolonged.

In other words, if you are under stress for a long time, "dopamine" and "serotonin" will decrease, and as a result, the pain-relieving "opioid" will also decrease, and you will not be able to suppress back pain.

The phenomena of "dopamine" and "serotonin" are closely related to depression, and it is said that a decrease in serotonin causes depression.

In other words, people who have long-term back pain are at increased risk of depression due to lower serotonin!

A walk is good for back pain

Does that mean? Does supplementing with serotonin usually improve back pain? It will be. In other words

Soak up the sun

This is effective, isn't it? Serotonin is secreted when exposed to the sun.
So, it would be nice to take a walk on a sunny day or exercise to the extent that you sweat lightly.

Also, adjusting the intestinal environment promotes the secretion of serotonin.

The intestine is also called the "second brain", and it is known that the intestinal environment is connected to the mentality of the brain, and serotonin, which is one of the happiness hormones of the brain, is also secreted in the intestine. Since it is sent to the brain, it is known that when the intestinal environment is adjusted, serotonin is secreted and mental stability is achieved.

If you have back pain, soak up the sun and get your stomach up and running! This is it!

If you have back pain yourself or others around you, check for psychological stress. Perhaps it's a work environment where there is a risk of depression.
