Scared Sick Av Meredith Wiley, Robin Karr-Morse

The first years of human life are more important than we ever realized. In <I>Scared Sick</I>, Robin Karr-Morse connects psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology, immunology, and genetics to demonstrate how chronic fear in infancy and early childhood -- when we are most helpless -- lies at the root of common diseases in adulthood.<br><br> Compassionate and based on the latest research, <I>Scared Sick</I> will unveil a major public health crisis. Highlighting case studies and cutting-edge scientific findings, Karr- Morse shows how our innate fight-or-flight system can injure us if overworked in the early stages of life. Persistent stress can trigger diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression, and addiction later on.
