Hello,
It can affect the body a whole lot worse.
There is something called psychosomatic weakness ..alot of stuff that just shows you how the mind is stronger than the body.

Very far. I work in a hospital and when people are anxious or nervous their bodies respond dramatically and immediately. Mainly it effects their heart rates and blood pressures. It is not all in our heads though. It also has to do with the people we are around. You can see a patient's vital signs change from when their family is in the room and when they leave. I have also heard of Tibetan monks that are so good at meditation they can make themselves sweat in 0 degree weather! Why do you think doctors urge you to de-stress your life? Because that stress has such an impact on your physical body.

Ever hear of multiple personality disorder?
Well one of the personalities may need glasses and another personality not.
One may be diabetic and another not. Same body isnt it?
That is how profound the mind body connection is.
Ever hear of the placebo effect?

My sister once had a psychosomatic cough. It can give you diarrheah, headaches, & all kinds of things.
