Too Much Stress--Smaller Brain

There was an article in the local paper yesterday about certain types of stress has been shown to cause ones brain to shrink.  Things like death, divorce, job loss, and cancer.  Then I googled it on line and there were many articles about it.  Here's one that I read http://healthland.time.com/2012/01/09/study-stress-shrinks-the-brain-and-lowers-our-ability-to-cope-with-adversity/

All I can say is "Don't stress me out!  I need all my brain cells.  Maybe we should be kinder and more in touch with people and things that don't stress us out.
