The Science Behind How Sickness Shapes Your Mood | Keely Muscatell | TED
Your immune system is more socially aware than you think, says social neuroscientist and psychology professor Keely Muscatell. Investigating the interconnectedness of your mood and your inflammatory system, she offers an evolutionary reason as to why being sick may make you feel depressed — and vice versa.

What she says is true. However the greater driver of inflammation in the west is our over-sanitized way of child-upbringing (little exposure to mild bacteria during childhood) coupled with the warped, twisted and malformed westernized diet and all the toxic chemicals in it. We know this because studies performed in areas of the world like Tibet conclusively show that children in those areas that follow their traditional organic diets (read: non-westernized diets) have much better immune systems and better stress-handling despite the fact that their lives are overall much much more stressful than ours in the west. We’re poisoning our bodies to death through westernized diets and this does no good to us. Solution: If you’re of European descent turn to traditional mediterranean organic diet, rest well and rest assure your body will take care of the rest.

00:39 🧠 Psychological and social well-being intertwines with physiological changes during sickness, influencing mood and behavior.
02:11 🔬 The immune system’s inflammatory response, coordinated by cytokines, causes physical symptoms during sickness and affects mood and social behavior.
04:50 🤔 Evolutionarily, the immune system might induce feelings of depression and social withdrawal to conserve energy during illness, redirecting resources for healing.
06:56 🔄 Inflammation’s impact on social interactions isn’t absolute; it might enhance motivation for connecting with close individuals, not necessarily reduce overall sociality.
09:35 ⚡ Psychological stress can trigger inflammation, showcasing the bidirectional relationship between the brain and the immune system.
11:04 🧭 Understanding the immune system’s role in mood changes during stress helps interpret physical and emotional reactions, offering reassurance during difficult times.

I think also people with secure attachments might reach out to others when sad and lonely, this our immune systems may be trying to get us to interact with loved ones for help or even when doing well, they might be trying to influence our microbiome by interacting with others to make us healthier in the future

As a celiac in a world where my immune system trigger is almost inescapable, I am intuitively familiar with this link between mood and the immune system.
Hearing this is not an unstudied effect that brings me great satisfaction.
I know anecdotally that If you frequently have an inflammatory response, it can meaningfully impact mental health.

I have a chronic illness, and I suggest from depression. So do the cat majority of other disabled people that I know. We all just figured we were depressed, because we sometimes miss our on things, but it gives me a weird sort of comfort to know that IT IS A THING.

It makes perfect sense that staying at home when you feel sick would be selected for by evolution as it reduces the spread of disease. Historically, close family would all live in the same house already, so no benefit to genetic selection for staying away from them.

Anecdotally, this makes a HUGE amount of sense for me. A few times I’ve gone through multi-day debilitating fatigue, with no other outward symptoms. It’s very embarrassing not to be able to explain to your work WHY you just took a whole week off, other than “debilitating fatigue”. WTH excuse is that? Well, it has always been during times of unusually high stress. So this mechanism Keely is describing suggests one very real possibility. Thanks, Keely! Keep up the great work!

I like that at no point does she say “suck it up” and “you’re being dramatic” and “you just need to get out there and socialize” (to deal with depression) lol these are all things I’ve been told my whole life with chronic illness, experiencing the same symptoms she’s describing. It’s nice to hear that it’s a normal response to illness and not a personal weakness.
