In Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance the author stated that his son suffered from stomach aches and was told it was a sign of possible mental illness. This was back in the 70s, but could there be a connection?
- toyg 12y agoThe stomach is well-known to suffer from problems when stress levels are high (nervous gastritis etc), something that mental health problems usually produce as side-effects. Here they are claiming microbes living in intestines (which is a different thing) actually cause mental illness. It's a very different thing.
