Undoing perpetual stress : the missing connection between depression, anxiety, and 21st century illness - O'CONNOR (New York : Berkley Books, 2005)
In this groundbreaking book, the author explains how a wide range of ever-more common problems-both emotional and physical-are in fact side effects of twenty-first century life, and how we can undo the damage. He illustrates the factors that contribute to what he calls the Perpetual Stress Response- a condition that results in tangible, structural damage to our brains, mind and bodies. The good news is that brain science and phychology are showing us how the damage can be reversed- and O'Connor points the way.
