stress

Fairly recently, I read or heard a story about a study that seemed to indicate that, during stressful situations, our brains store more images, and that maybe this is why, in our memory, time seems to have slowed. Anyone else hear about this, or was I imagining it? I've spent quite a bit of...

Hello all, Most people consider stress as a bad & unhealthful condition to our body. Is it true? Whether stress is always bad to us? "Stress is defined as an organism's total response to an environmental condition or stimulus, also known as a stressor. Stress typically describes a negative...

Hello, On ongoing discussions in Evolution:facts topic, it has been popped up:- It will be more productive to relate Instinct with Immune response. Does it suggest that innate immunity is linked to Instincts & other immunities to Learned behaviour? If so, whether we are losing or gaining...

I read the following Vancouver Sun article- .vancouversun.com/news/Father+voice+stress+analysis+received+after+hours+Bible+study+strip+mall/4440132/story.html -on the "father" of the Voice Stress Analysis Machine with great interest and concern. I brings to mind last years idiocy with James...

Overwhelmed, overtired, overweight... Haven't been around these forums much lately. Haven't had time to do much of anything these days. I just started school again to finish my bachelor degree. If there ever was something to tip me over the edge, starting school was it. Nothing quite like...

I'm searching for information on Lenny Mees, M.D., retired, author of "Get A Life America" and President and Founder of Health Innovators International. I haven't been able to find a website for him or the company and the review of his book on Amazon is pretty cursory. It does state that it's...

I was never in a war but I was in a bad car accident when I was much younger. I was basically unhurt but the person who caused the accident died and my passenger was permanently injured. A drunk hit my car on the passengers side destroying my car, injuring my friend and killing the drunk who...

There is a recurring theme which seems to have all the properties of nonsense, but it doesn't seem that there is consensus even in medical circles. I'm talking about atopic dermatitis (AD) being a psychosomatic disease, meaning that it is, according to some people, at least partially, caused by...

http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2008/1002/2 As a logical continuation, people who are in bad times seek a "higher" explanation, thus leading them to woo. I think this is something already known and exploited by religion, but it's nice to see that science backs it up.

I wanted to share this weird experience with you cause I'm wondering what exactly triggered. When I was around 8 years old I used to get these weird episodes a couple times. I would all of a sudden wake up in the middle of the night, feeling like time was happening a little bit faster than...

I cast a cry out to the wonderful people on board - what is the scoop on stress/cortisol/weight? I am not a scientist or doctor, and really cannot tell whether the information I am finding on the web is worth anything. The basic tune on the web is that stress tells the body to release...

Key findings: Source: http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=10824 Well, that is absolutely frightening. Don't these soldiers get any kind of ethics training before they're deployed? I blame their commanders and the military, before I blame the individual soldiers, mind you.

The adolescent brain develops a bumper crop of THP receptors. It seems to me that this would help an adolescent animal survive in a world where the parent isn't around that much anymore.

I have been asked this by two women every time I have walked through "Strøget" in Copenhagen. They have always wanted to guide me to some building and show me stuff, but when I have asked they've never specified what it was, so I always said I weren't interested. Last time I got curious and...

Interesting from a psychology standpoint also, according to this guy humans don't really multi-task very well and men and woman multi-task equally as well. I don't know how solid this guys research is. Anyone heard of him? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/pacificnw/2004/1128/cover.html

Has anyone seen any of these tests on the streets anywhere else? I just saw some of the Church's members testing people for stress. They've set up this table, and got these cheap looking box's with needles and buttons...and all you have to do is hold these two metal bars and they'll know if...

Does anyone know where someone wrote about stress pre 1926. It also needs to be in the "west". If anyone does thankyou.
