The Greek philosopher Epictetus said: “There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.” This is easy enough in theory but putting this into practice is a very different story.
In fact, 77% of Americans report that they regularly experience physical symptoms of stress, and 73% experience psychological symptoms (American Psychological Association). That is just the beginning of many problems stress can cause in every aspect of our lives.
This begs the question: Why does this happen and what can we do?
Join us for “Protecting Your Brain from Stress: Chemistry, Genetics & Strategies,” the next installment of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies Mini Symposium Series, when we will address those questions on Thursday, March 3, at 2 PM via Zoom.
Presented by the Wolfe Brain Health Initiative, and in partnership with the U-M Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg and Family Depression Center and the Department of Psychiatry, we are extremely excited to welcome the speakers below.
We can’t “stress” this enough (we couldn’t resist—sorry): This is an event you don’t want to miss. Don't forget to submit your questions when you register.
