Doing good does you good for mental health

Research published in September (2010) suggested that that helping others can have a beneficial effect on health.
Psychologist Dr David Lewis measured the emotions and stress levels of people who spent nine days giving time and effort to charity work and helping friends and neighbours. Subjects showed reduced levels of those negative feelings that can lead to illness, such as stress and anger. Feelings of well-being and confidence increased.
In the 1930s Dr Edward Bach (Bach Flower Remedies) wrote, ‘Every kindly smile, every kindly thought and action, every deed done for love or sympathy or compassion of others proves that there is something greater within us than that we see.’
Since his death in 1936 researchers into psychoneuroimmunology have demonstrated the chemical links between positive emotions and physical health. This new research carried out at the University of Sussex’s Mindlab offers a further demonstration of that link.
