The Importance Of Community-Based Communication For Physical Health

Good Essays

What studies explain why we need to communicate for our physical health? How can not dealing with emotions properly damage not only our physical health, but our mental health?
Does holding in all of your emotions by not communicating with others cause you to fall into depression? It seems there are many of us that tend to hold in our emotions rather than communicating to others on how we are feeling. We may go on believing that if we keep these feelings hidden, especially negative feelings, that no one will get hurt. However, studies show that not communicating with others can not only be harmful on your physical health but also your mental health therefore, at the end of the day you are only hurting yourself. I am hoping to learn about why holding in your emotions causes this type of damage to yourself and what steps we can do to avoid non communication. As mentioned earlier, we are all guilty of hiding in our emotions especially if it’s something that’s embarrassing or we just may not feeling like
“talking” about it. I feel that after reading why communicating is healthy for us, it will help us want to communicate more.
The 3 sources I will be sharing with you today are the following, The first, “The
Importance of Community-Based Communication for Health and Social Change,” written by
Schiavo, R. (2016), a study in Journal of Communication Healthcare. The second article, “Does
Communication Ability Affect Psychological Well Being?” written by, Lanciano, T. & Curci A.
