Without question, stress is the leading contributor to psychological disorders worldwide. 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. And due to the complexities of modern society, it is virtually certain that stress will become increasingly prevalent in all of our lives.

Stress and Your Health. From Vulnerability Resilience offers readers an evidence-based evaluation of a wide range of stressor effects, along with proven methods to alleviate distress and stress-related illnesses. A wide range of stressor-related topics are addressed, including social psychological and biological components, stress-related pathologies, and various therapeutic strategies to deal with stress as well as the factors that often hinder treatments. 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.

Written 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.
