ABSTRACT

Pain is often thought of as a purely physical experience, but science has revealed that emotional pain activates the brain in much the same way as physical pain. Heartbreak, rejection, and grief are not just metaphorical wounds; they can cause real, measurable distress in the body, often leading to symptoms that mimic physical illness.

Key words: Pain, Emotional, Physical
