More on the biology of stress

This is a brief follow-up to my fourth post on anxiety: “Biological Aspects of Stress and Anxiety.”  In researching for the next topic for the blog, I ran across a video about Robert Sapolsky, the author of  Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers.  

The video is short but makes a dramatic point about the effects of the fight/flight response in everyday human life.  It’s well worth the five minute viewing.  Here’s the link:

(For some reason I had difficulty watching the video in my web browser.  I downloaded the video with realplayer and it worked fine.)
