If negative emotions exceed a certain intensity and duration, they can cause harm to the human body and affect physical and mental development. Normal emotions should have a reason, appropriate performance and moderate reaction. Any kind of emotion must have a reason, not something that comes out of nothing. The reaction is consistent with the magnitude of the internal and external stimuli or with the emotional response of most people.
