A new study has learned that more intelligent people are more prone¹ to mental illnesses.

一项新研究指出，越聪明的人越容易患精神类疾病。

Their results showed that more intelligent people often have what is called a "hyperexcitable brain."

研究结果显示，比较聪明的人往往会有一个“过度兴奋的大脑”。

This means that their brain is more aware of what is going on around them which in turn causes their central nervous system to be more reactive.

这意味着他们的大脑会更清楚地意识到周围正在发生的事情，进而使他们的中枢神经系统更活跃。

They can be startled by a noise or a criticism aimed in their direction, which leads to stress and other unwanted issues.

朝他们所在的方向传递的噪音或指责会使他们受到惊吓，而且会使他们产生压力并引起其他不必要的问题。

A minor² insult may trigger a low level, chronic³ stress response which then activates⁴ a hyper body response.

一点点的冒犯可能就会触发轻微的慢性应激反应，然后引起过度激动的身体反应。

When the sympathetic nervous system becomes chronically⁵ activated⁶, it finds itself in a continuous fight, flight, or freeze state that triggers a series of immune changes in both the body and the brain-altering behavior, mood, and functioning.

当交感神经系统被长期激活，它就会处于一种持续的战斗、逃跑或冻结的状态，而这会引起身体和改变大脑的行为、情绪以及机能上的一系列的免疫变化。
