A disease prone personality appears to be well supported. Reseasrch has suggested that personality has effects on disease (specifically cancer and heart disease). For example, percieved stress can lead to health health problems, as well as depression, anger, and feelings of helplessness. Several studies have demonstrated long-term disease incidence could be significantly reduced by implementing a treatment that aimed to promote healthier stress behaviours (emotional expression) in individuals characterised as having unhealthy personalities.
