Season 13 - Episode 18: Psychosomatics of Dried Eyes | EVETTE ROSE

Evette Rose Season 13 Episode 18

Dry eyes are a common condition that can be caused by both physical and psychological factors. Stress, anxiety, and depression can result in decreased production of tears, leading to dry eyes. Studies have also found that chronic stress or trauma can cause an abnormal autonomic nervous system response, causing the tear production mechanism to malfunction. To reduce the risk of developing dry eyes due to psychosomatic causes, it is important to practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or yoga along with making healthy dietary changes. Additionally, seeking professional help for any mental health issues present may provide further benefits in managing this condition.
