Artwork of silhouette with heart in brains place
Heart neurosis. Artwork of a human profile in silhouette with a heart in the place of the brain, depicting heart neurosis. Heart (cardiac) neurosis is excessive fear of the condition of the heart. It is most common in people who have had a heart attack or heart surgery. Sufferers experience chest pain, breathlessness and palpitations with no physical cause. Heart neurosis can also occur in people with no history of heart problems. It is believed that in some healthy people excessive fear of suffering a heart attack has actually caused them to experience one. This has been termed the Nocebo effect

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Heart Neurosis" by Science Photo Library beautifully captures the concept of excessive fear and anxiety surrounding heart health. The silhouette of a human profile against a dark background draws attention to the heart, which intriguingly replaces the brain. Symbolizing the condition known as cardiac neurosis, this thought-provoking piece delves into the psychological impact that heart-related issues can have on individuals. Cardiac neurosis primarily affects those who have undergone heart surgery or experienced a heart attack. However, it can also manifest in people without any prior history of cardiovascular problems. The artwork highlights how an irrational fear of suffering from a heart attack may actually lead some otherwise healthy individuals to experience one due to what is known as the Nocebo effect. The artist's choice to replace the brain with a heart emphasizes how this disorder disrupts rational thinking and amplifies emotions related to cardiac well-being. Through intricate details and skillful execution, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for understanding mental health's profound influence on physical well-being. Science Photo Library continues its mission to bridge science and art by showcasing images that provoke curiosity while shedding light on various medical conditions. This particular artwork invites viewers to reflect upon their own fears and anxieties surrounding their hearts' health, ultimately encouraging dialogue about mental wellness within healthcare settings.
