How stress changes the brain and why it’s contagious

Are you stressed?  Who isn’t! We seem to be faced with constant demands at work and at home.

Obligations to family, responsibilities at work, commitments to friends and so on.    And it’s all a race against the clock.

As a society,  we seem to be stressed out.

And what makes this dilemma even more problematic is that stress is contagious!  That’s right.  The research on this is fascinating.  Just listen to neuroscientist Jaideep Bains.

We take a deep dive into our brains to find out what’s happening to us when we’re on stress overload.
