Don’t keep things pent up

Don’t keep things pent up: talk about what bothers you. 

不要把事情憋在心里：说出你的烦恼吧。

The processes of wordlessly going through something unpleasant and talking about your predicament involve making use of different parts of the brain. In the latter case, negative emotions have a lesser impact on your well-being. 

把不愉快的事情憋在心里，或者是与别人交流自己的困境，利用的是大脑的不同区域。在后一种情况下，负面情绪对你的健康影响较小。

It is, therefore, advisable not to keep your problems pent up. Whenever you talk about them, your brain triggers the production of serotonin and even manages to find some positive sides to the situation. 

因此，最好不要把你的问题隐藏起来。每当你谈论它们时，你的大脑会触发血清素的产生，这会让你发现一些积极的方面。

To us, humans, social interaction is important. Various forms of physical support, especially touch and embraces, can speed up a person’s recovery from an illness.

对我们人类来说，社交是非常重要的。各种形式的身体接触，特别是触摸和拥抱，可以加速一个人在疾病后的恢复。

If you remove physical interaction from your life, the brain perceives its absence the way it perceives physical pain: the same brain zones become activated in both instances. This, in turn, triggers the processes that affect your mood and contribute to the development of depression. 

如果你从来不与别人发生身体接触，大脑会像感知身体疼痛那样感知到它的缺失：在这两种情况下，相同的大脑区域都会被激活。这反过来又影响你的情绪，从而助长抑郁的发展。
