Chronic Stress causes mental problems and changes your brain’s…

Modern life seems to becoming increasingly stressful.  And so many of today’s health complaints are stress related. While stress isn’t always a bad thing, it can help you to push yourself beyond your comfort zone and discover new levels of success.

Overwork, conflict, and other major stressors affect brain structure, functioning and even the genetic structure.
