When the Body Says No

Can one literally die from loneliness? Is there a link between the ability to express emotions and Alzheimer's disease? Is there such a thing as a "cancer personality"? The book "When the Body Says No" answers thorny questions about the link between mind and body, and about the role that psychological stress and a person's emotional makeup play in various common diseases such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and multiple sclerosis. These answers are drawn from extensive scientific research and from Dr. Gabor Maté's acclaimed clinical work.
