Sixth Sense In Humans? Psychologists say it may shape mental health
Humans possess a vital sixth sense called interoception, which monitors internal bodily signals. This hidden sense helps regulate emotions and manage stress effectively. Women show lower accuracy in heart-based interoceptive tasks, potentially explaining higher anxiety rates. Better interoception correlates with fewer mood swings and improved hunger signal detection. Understanding interoception offers pathways to better mental health treatments.
