Poor Logic as a Main Environmental Cause of Mental Illness

How does what you think affect how you feel?

Although this is a vein, science is necessarily concerned with, this post is intended to spark conversation about the impact of your beliefs on your health not only psychologically, but holistically. This is something that comes up not only in psychology but common conversation. We discuss frequently, "[so and so] died of a broken heart" or "(s)he lost the will to live". This truth we especially see this in the ultimate fighting situations, even when it comes to parents trying to save their children from impending doom. How much more, then, does poor logical formation, psychological manipulation, and bad relationship substantially affect how we perceive reality. Truly, if we believe lies about ourselves, reality, and especially about God, then we will find ourselves condemned by our "misfortune" and unable to grapple with the truth of things. After all, our psychology is an average of our natures which interplay with each other i.e. the instinctual and the logical/spiritual. We ought to be careful what environment we choose and when we have little choice of our environment what of our environment we ought and ought not to assimilate. Given our social nature, it is very difficult to do this with an effect at times, especially where being a child or a member of a community is concerned.
