Summary: Scientists prove that when in pain you tend to think negatively, there for your brain makes your pain increase. Researchers found that if you try not to think negatively and try not to focus on the pain you will soon forget about it. For example; when a woman gets cramps they tend to think about the pain and so their pain increases. Though if you try to not think about the cramps or something makes you happy, you forget about the pain that you were having. So for people that are in pain medicine is not always the answer, you can try to find a way to make yourself happy and before you know it you wont realize you were in pain.
Critique: This article is good to read about because parents can now tell their children that sometimes the pain they are feeling really is in their head. Also if you don't have your advil just think to yourself a happy memory and you wont feel the pain anymore.
Impact: The impact this has on people can be a good or bad one, because some people will try to forget about their pain or people can increase their pain by always thinking about it. Especially for me, I learned that when I have terrible cramps that I should not think about the pain and should think about something great in my life.
