Responsible for myriad illnesses, stressful events are now associated with everything from depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to heart disease, diabetes, and even neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's.

Also covered are factors that cause individuals to be more vulnerable to the impact of stressors and at increased risk for pathology, along with elements such as genetic predisposition and various coping processes that engender resilience in some individuals even in the presence of severe stressors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten in a lively, jargon-free manner to make even the most difficult biological and immunological concepts accessible to a wide audience, Stress and Your Health: From Vulnerability to Resilience offers invaluable insights into ways to identify and alleviate one of the most insidious realities of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHymie Anisman\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.
