Treating a difficult break-up<\/a> as a disease - what a funny idea! Nevertheless, according to some specialists, the analgesic could ease the sadness and pain connected to the separation. Here is\u00a0their explanation.<\/p>

ASPIRIN, THE MEDICINE FOR A BROKEN HEART<\/strong><\/p>

According to Dr Walter Mischel, eminent psychologist at the University of Columbia, the psychological suffering connected to a break-up is similar to physical pain. So, to look at a photo of our ex-partner can activate the same regions of the brain associated with physical pain such as\u00a0a burn on the arm. This explains the specialist\u2019s recommendation to take two aspirin tablets to treat the problem.<\/p>

And he is not a visionary. Other studies have already shown that taking painkillers enables us to better manage\u00a0our\u00a0feelings following a separation. At this stage, we tend to say to ourselves, \u201cwhy not?\u201d But there is a small problem: an unhappy love affair can last for a long time and all medicine <\/a>have side effects. Aspirin, for example, can cause acid reflux and even stomach ulcers. It is better to avoid taking it in the long-term, except on medical advice and in some very precise cases. And, you will have probably\u00a0guessed it, the broken heart is not a part of the \u201cpathology\u201d for what the aspirin is recommended. Even if the medicine relieves in some cases, it is not a miracle<\/a> cure.<\/p>

In brief, until science finds the real solution (if one exists), we can turn ourselves to another remedy that has proven its efficiency: let time pass and show resilience. This solution may be less attractive, but is much more effective.<\/p>
