JAKARTA - Are you someone who is used to complaining, judging, or criticizing? This behavior should begin to be reduced because it can actually harm the health of the body, especially the brain.
In addition to being able to damage the mood, the habit of complaining can worsen the condition of the brain. The focus of the brain can decrease, so that the ability to solve problems will also decrease.
"Comploring, judging, or criticizing others can change your brain so that you are less focused and productive, and reduce your problem solving skills," said a certified neurologist at Arizona, Emily McDonald, quoted by the Times of India, on Thursday, August 14, 2025.
When complaining is made into a habit that is often done every day, the brain will absorb negative things. This will connect the brain with more problems that lead to disrupting its welfare.

Not only that, but the habit of complaining will also shrink the area of the brain responsible for focus and decision-making. This triggers you to make decisions that are not right to make.
Study explains that chronic stress and negative thoughts can shrink your prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for focus, emotional settings, and decision-making, he continued.

"Thinking positive and grateful to strengthen the prefrontal cortex, and create a good life," concluded Emily McDonald.
