Answer 2

emotional health is an extreme part of your overall health. I read a book recently and in it a doctor stated that almost 40% of the illnesses that come in are created just from emotional distress and can be fixed themselves by elimination of worry and stress.... So many people are stressed out and worried these days its crazy! Worrying and stressing can lead to several health problems... such as stomache ulcers, heart problems, diabetes, arthritus. Things that can effect you long term. But where do all these problems start? with your emotions and worry. That is why it is so important to take time for yourself to relax and make sure you are happy.
