Chronic pain doesn’t just hurt the body; it reshapes the brain, linking it to depression. New research shows how prolonged pain alters the hippocampus, blurring the line between physical and mental health.

This story is so embedded in my psyche as a core childhood memory, that I did not make the connection between this and the movie Stree until someone pointed it out!

@joshiamitabhevo Yes, I agree.
