The Pressure Cooker

Key Findings APA Survey 2 007   STRESS
Portrait of a National Pressure Cooker   Stress
is a fact of life (agreed 79 percent of people),
but according to survey responses, Americans
routinely experience what they believe are higher
than healthy levels of stress. One-third of
people in the U.S. regularly report experiencing
extreme levels of stress (32 percent), and nearly
one in five (17 percent) report that they
experienced their highest level of stress 15 or
more days per month. Even more alarming, nearly
half of Americans (48 percent) believe that their
stress has increased over the past five
years.   Google keyword stress in

Anatomy of Stress

The actions of the parasympathetic nervous system
can be summarized as "rest and digest" (as
opposed to the "fight-or-flight" effects of the
sympathetic nervous system). It is also quite the
opposite for the sympathetic nervous system.
