The daughter of a severely depressed client asks the nurse What do you think about the relationship
  between depression and physical illness? Since my mother has been grieving over my father's death,
  she has been physically unwell.
 
  She has had a series of colds, an outbreak of shingles, and an
  episode of the flu.. The answer that best reflects the current thinking about psychoimmunology is
  a. It is probably a coincidence. Not much evidence is available that the stress of
  grieving makes one prone to physical illnesses..
  b. Your observation might be explained by the fact you are paying more attention
  to your mother since your father died and you are noticing things such as minor
  illnesses..
  c. The literature has not dwelt on the relation between mental state and the body
  other than to say that one influences the other..
  d. The immune system is thought to respond to changes in brain chemistry by
  suppressing white blood cell production when the person experiences prolonged
  stress..
