The good mood is not enough to survive an illness, so according to a study where they followed the evolution of more than 100 patients suffering from some kind of tumor (head and neck) who were undergoing radiotherapy.

The study was conducted at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) and consisted of a questionnaire on the mood of these patients, and although many reflect a good mood is upbeat 646 died later.

Anyway attempts to test the ability of the psyche to influence the healing of physical illnesses are still open, as there are specialists who continue to cling to that theory. Moreover, many of these physicians recommend alternative therapies such as meditation or reiki along with traditional therapies.

Surely that is an endless debate, but it is important that the patient is given the opportunity to receive psychosocial support or some other type, if it so chooses.
