The Mind-Body Connection

In my earlier posting on Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome I mentioned that I often wonder about a mind-body connection with regard to Conn's. I'm learning more each day as I investigate on the web. I happened to stumble across several interesting articles on the subject:

I'd love to learn more, especially ways to improve an ill body with the help of the mind. As well, I am always on the look out for articles on diagnosing illnesses with both body and mind in mind. If only I could find them in the field of endocrinology. Thus far, none of the endo's I've been to have ever once asked about my emotional stress levels prior to prognosis. Nor have they seemed that concerned after, even when I complained of depression which I believe is common with Conn's. This isn't just a physical disease, things get convoluted and foggy. And even more stressful. I'm just trying to discover more clues as to why I got this thing called Conn's. Or have I just been conned by Conn's?
