Study in the UK suggests that having negative thoughts could even have a lasting impact on your health. Indeed, people who are pessimistic are more likely to suffer from cognitive decline later. "We think repetitive negative thinking may be a new risk factor for dementiaSays the lead author, Dr. Natalie Marchant, psychiatrist and senior researcher in the Department of Mental Health at University College London. The results of this study were published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia.
To reach these conclusions, scientists measured negative thoughts in more than 350 people over the age of 55. For two years, the panel answered questions about how they feel about negative experiences (rumination about the past, concern for the future). They also gave some information regarding the symptoms of anxiety and depression. A third of the patients also underwent a brain scan. This exam will determine the level of deposits of tau and amyloid, certain proteins that cause Alzheimer’s disease. Thanks to this analysis, the researchers also noted a greater cognitive decline in depressed and anxious people. “Data-reactid =” 24 “> Do you grind black? Are you a natural pessimist?
