Tis. Harder to deal directly with than the biological impact of environmental and perceived stressors.
Just I managed to listen to the whole of Dr Robert Sapolsky's on line discussion on stress and memory:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/memory/robertsapolsky.html, It's worth a listen. Near the end in Q and A he particulary focuses on perception and the ability to make adjustments to what we pereive as stressors being key, which is where counselling or group work can help. And as he rightfully notes a social support network is a consistent indicator of how well one deals with dis-ease of whatever sort and recuperation when you cut away all other factors.Sante!
