With the development of human society, people's living habits and behavior patterns have changed, and diseases that threaten human life have also changed. Cancer has become one of the main diseases threatening human life. Although progress has been made in surgical treatment, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, research on psychosocial prevention is particularly lagging behind. This causes some cancer patients to have not very severe symptoms before the onset of the disease, but their condition can rapidly deteriorate after diagnosis, even leading to death. In order to improve the quality of life for patients and extend survival time, it is important for clinical care to alleviate physical suffering while carefully addressing the psychological adjustment of patients, reducing their psychological burden as much as possible, freeing them from the troubles of negative emotions, improving their quality of life, and maintaining an optimistic attitude throughout the final journey of life.
Medical research shows that psychological and social factors are important determinants of human health. Medical psychology points out that individuals with stable families, happy marriages, harmonious interpersonal relationships, and truly trustworthy friends have significantly lower rates of illness compared to those who live lonely lives or experience heavy psychological stress. About 50% of human diseases are related to lifestyle and behavior, which are often linked to psychological factors; sometimes psychological factors may even play a dominant role. Cancer remains the leading cause of death among urban residents in our country, so preventing cancer should focus on various aspects such as mental, behavioral, environmental, and genetic factors.
Combining the theoretical achievements of mental health research with the general needs of society, we can create a harmonious and optimistic medical environment through various channels, providing advanced mental health services to cancer patients and their families, teaching them effective scientific psychological adjustment techniques and methods, targetedly reducing their severe anxiety, alleviating their psychological pressure, and adjusting their mindset. This is a necessary condition for the recovery of cancer patients.
Most patients with cancer consider it an incurable disease, lack confidence in treatment, and due to the torment of cancer, they easily develop psychological disorders such as restlessness and worry. If timely psychological counseling is not provided, this can greatly distort a person's sense of existence, leading to feelings of pain and despair, making extreme behaviors more likely, resulting in unpleasant and undesirable outcomes.
The American Cancer Society reports that about 10% of cancers naturally disappear and rarely recur. Scientists believe there are over a dozen factors that can cause cancers to naturally disappear. People who recover using self-relaxation and inner imagination combined with rehabilitation exercises tend to be outgoing and enjoy exercise.
Human personality types can be classified into many categories according to different classification criteria, such as introverted, extroverted, Type A, Type B, rational, emotional, etc. Modern medical psychological research confirms that personality type has an important impact on physical and mental health. That is, people with certain personality traits are often prone to specific mental illnesses or physical diseases. The most typical example is that people with Type A personality characteristics (strong sense of time urgency, competitiveness, and hostility) are three times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than those with Type B personality (the opposite of Type A). Therefore, people with Type A behavior should consciously change, adjust, or control the characteristics of their personalities that are detrimental to physical and mental health, to reduce or avoid the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
Similarly, attention should also be paid to people with Type C personality traits. Because Type C personality is a type associated with cancer occurrence. The "C" comes from the first letter of "Cancer," indicating that people with this personality trait are prone to cancer. There is a correlation between the occurrence of cancer and a person's personality. That is, people with positive, optimistic, and open-minded personalities who can promptly relieve negative emotions often experience slow tumor growth, and tumors may even naturally regress; whereas people with Type C personality traits will accelerate the development of tumors.
People with Type C personality often excessively worry about life, career, and interpersonal communication, are not good at interacting with others, deeply experience unfortunate events internally, excessively endure, and thus remain in a state of long-term suppression, even avoiding confronting conflicts and feeling depressed. This inevitably leads to a decline in immune function, causing various metabolic dysfunctions, triggering various cancerous changes. Therefore, Type C personality is also called "cancer personality."
Psychologist Spinoza believed that psychological activity and physiological activity are equivalent, being two aspects of the same process. This reveals the philosophical secret of the unity of psychology and physiology. The psychological activity characteristics of Type C personality reflect that negative emotions cannot be reasonably or appropriately vented due to closure and suppression, resulting in negative physiological activities, thereby leading to cancer.
Psychology is the function of the brain, reflecting the brain's response to objective reality. The activity of the brain directly affects physiological activity. The negative psychology of Type C personality directly induces negative physiological activity. Air pollution and social environments are the same, but why do some people get cancer while others do not? More than sixty percent of the factors are psychological factors, and Type C personality plays a role.
In summary, although Type C personality may be one of the causative factors of cancer, it must ultimately take effect through the participation of various neuroendocrine and immune systems. Therefore, improving personality and changing your way of dealing with people and attitudes can regulate your neuroendocrine and immune functions to varying degrees, enhancing the body's ability to resist disease, thereby reducing or avoiding the occurrence of disease, restoring a healthy mindset and physique.
However, having Type C personality traits is not scary. We know that a person's character forms in life and can also be changed in life. Therefore, starting now, as long as you make efforts through your own willpower, you can completely transform some negative aspects of your character.
