That's a myth.
As for mind over matter, the brain is just another organ, so it's really just matter affecting matter. As such, there's no physical barrier to it being able to affect other organs and systems in the body. Depression for example may be caused by chemical imbalance, but may be cured by cognitive therapy, i.e. mind overcoming matter. This is only the case for some specific examples. It's unlikely that the brain has the biological capacity to overcome things like pathogens and old age.
