As we’ve evolved, the human stress response has saved our lives. Today, we turn on the same life-saving physical reaction to cope with intense, ongoing stressors - and we can’t seem to turn it off. Robert Sapolsky, Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University, reveals just how dangerous prolonged exposure to stress can be in the documentary, “stress: Portrait of a Killer.”

As a second-generation Parkinson’s Patient, I witnessed the father whose example taught me the great lessons of life save the best until last, one that I now pass on to my children.
But the visible component - the tremors and dyskenesia - are mild by comparison to the disabling effects of stress that cause panic attacks so severe that death by cardiac arrest seemed always imminent and, taken with increasing slowness of mental processes and inability to self-monitor my own tasks, ended my work
