Why Heartbreak Hurts So Much

Abstract:

Heartbreak activates the same brain regions as physical pain, making emotional loss intensely distressing. Attachment bonds are biologically wired, so separation triggers real suffering. Healing often comes through reconnecting with supportive loved ones, which releases natural pain-relieving endorphins. Persistent emotional pain, however, may require medical support.
