Heart Failure
An overflow of stress hormones can cause heart failure. Stress cardiomyopathy is caused by severe stress like during a time of grief and shock. It weakens the heart muscles, and can lead to death. But changing ones approach, the mind could help rebalance the body. Hyman wrote in a 2013 blog that a person he treated, who had emotional and mental healing, did not have to take prescription drugs for heart failure.
