Suppressed emotions, disease and science

Many thinkers have come to the conclusion that much disease in humans is caused by suppressed emotions impacting on the physical body and creating disease.  The question then arises: can this be tested scientifically?  The obvious answer is no, because there is no way to determine if someone is suppressing emotions or not.  A survey completed by the patient would not answer this question because most people are unaware that they ARE suppressing emotion because it is something they do unconsciously.  Therefore, even of it is true that suppressed emotions create disease it is unlikely that science will be able to accurately study this any time soon.
