Humans May Have A Hidden Sixth Sense That Could Shape Mental Health

Research suggests humans have a hidden sense called interoception that monitors internal body signals.

Interoception may play a key role in mental health and emotional wellbeing.

The sense helps the brain track signals like heartbeat, breathing, and hunger.

Impaired interoception has been linked to conditions like anxiety and depression.

Understanding interoception could lead to new therapies for mental health disorders.
