adaptation to stress is an essential part of everyday survival, maladaptation to stress has been linked to
many chronic illnesses affecting various systems of the body. Stress has been linked to several brain
disorders including anxiety, depression and PTSD, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, sleep and
circadian rhythm issues, gastrointestinal conditions to include reflux and constipation.
