Description
Like the first edition, the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Stress covers nearly every conceivable aspect and ramification
of stress including a wide range of related topics such as neuroimmune interactions, cytokines, enzymatic disorders, effects on the cardiovascular
system, immunity and inflammation, and physical illnesses. Over the last decade, scientists have presented convincing research showing
that psychological stress increases vulnerability to disease. They now understand more clearly that stress may be the thread tying together
illnesses that were previously believed to be unrelated. Bone loss, increased abdominal fat, and damaged memory cells in the hippocampus
have been linked to elevated cortisol levels.
Building on the success of the first edition, this completely revised work surveys the
vast amount of research generated in the past five years, resulting in a substantial revision with over 30% new material and over 100
new entries. Expanded sections include Animal Studies, Anxiety and Depression, Drugs, Depression, Disasters, and Psychological and Other
Therapies.
Also available online via ScienceDirect (2007) – featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing
