I suspect Takotsubo Syndrome to be on the rise because of the proliferation and emotional leverage of social media precisely, primarily.
We are living life had a hundred years to one compared to what we used to short time ago and our bodies are emotionally ill equipped for this. just look at the Advent of modern Computing and then the most recent Advent of social media and it's exponential almost instant growth. Looking backwards it will be abundantly clear but I'm telling everybody today what is fact.
To study something ahead of time you are seeking the precursors while you're living through what you studied before it happened and now while it's happening you start to compile those precursors like symptoms and the realization start to strike you hard.
The human emotional being with the hormones and other chemical baths that wash over us depending on the demand, is not equipped for what it is living through today and it is a reality that is completely self-imposed of course.
Evolution truly is the survival of the fittest and we know not who is fittest until that time of change comes in the great meeting out again and indeed we are in that process always.
The temporary journey is interesting and the cycle is real and perpetual until you become an evolved being.
if you don't understand a thing here and, hang in there... I promise in time you will.
