Is being around sick/ill people contagious?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Are there any scientific studies which show that being around mentally and physically sick people will cause ordinarily healthy people to also be sick?

My brother has several friends that have a large number of illnesses as well as mental health issues. He is beginning to show some of this.

I need to show him evidence to support my theory.

Thanks
