Your response to stress is the result of physiology, genetics and environment. Stress is a result of the flight fight response. The brain recognises a threat, the adrenal gland produces chemicals that affect changes in the brain and bodies functioning. The factors that cause variation in stress responses would be what the brain identifies as stress and the capacity of the adrenal gland to function. A person that lives in a fairly isolated location, the country say, may have very few challenges…

If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is around to hear it, then does it make a sound? You've most likely heard this age-old riddle before. The key to understanding it is recognizing what it's about -- the real question here is, "are events defined solely by their presence in human experience?". But what defines what a human experience is? Is the expression something that should be interpreted literally (in that all that is required is at least one human perceiving the event), or is it…

Section 1: What I know, What I want to Know Prior to my research, I knew that anxiety had to be more than just a side effect of thinking too much or it “all being in your head”. From personal experience, I knew that anxiety was something that was not easy to deal with, and that there had to be other people out there who have similar symptoms as I do.
