What do you think?



Such as loneliness, grief or a broken heart?

Not directly but stuff like anxiety and depression can contribute.

Well in the literal sense, I'm pretty sure that would be true.

Most emotions can kill you, even happiness.

Anger obviously can lead to death in many forms, not to mention just raising your blood pressure and causing you to die from a heart attack etc.

Fear can prevent you from doing things that you need to live, while also possibly causing you to die of a heart attack.

Sadness can cause you to wish for death with your entire being, preventing you from eating, and basically just letting yourself die.

So yeah pretty much most emotions can kill you either directly or indirectly.

What you've listed there is dying due to other things than emotions. Emotions contribute to things but are not a direct cause.

Yes. Emotions effect the body in a lot of ways. Certain ones can certainly cause problems if they get out of hand, especially if they develop into mental health issues. Sadness can become depression which can lead to things like a loss of interest in food which leads to starvation for example.

Yes, considering emotions are a byproduct of your biochemistry. They can and do damage you if they aren't in a healthy state.

I was going to second this. My daughter had this during her AVM rupture in her brain. It was touch and go for many reasons but she slowly got better. Her heart was greatly stressed but recovered slowly.

People have laughed themselves to death.

On 24 March 1975, Alex Mitchell, from King's Lynn, England, died laughing while watching the "Kung Fu Kapers" episode of The Goodies, featuring a kilt-clad Scotsman with his bagpipes battling a master of the Lancastrian martial art "Eckythump", who was armed with a black pudding. After 25 minutes of continuous laughter, Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and died from heart failure. His widow later sent The Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell's final moments of life so pleasant.
