The link between emotions and physical illness has been known for over 2000 years. The oldest literature linking emotions and illness dates back to the Greek physician Galen (129-200 AD), who noted that women suffering from melancholy were more susceptible to Cancer. Writings from the early 18th and 19th century show links between the emotions of grief, frustration and misery and the development of cancerous tumors.
