Is Your Immune System on Alert?

The human brain has the capacity to symbolically represent and imagine negative situations, even when those ations are not directly in front of us. We may think about a a negative news item that pops up on our phone, but then once the negative news item goes away, we're no longer thinking about it any more. So liing as we are right now with a lot of stress, does that mean that our bodies are on alert all the time? Is that what's happening to a lot of us?! And therefore, your immune system is is in overdrive. It's doing things that you don't need it to do, but your brain is telling it to do yes.
