However, these mechanisms meant to protect us in potentially harmful circumstances can also be damaging, especially in cases of chronic stress. We will explore what stress is, the physiological responses to stress in the short- and long-term, and the effects of chronic stress on our health, as well as societal disparities in stress. The first portion of the course will cover basic concepts of stress physiology, and the rest of the course will be discussion of primary literature.
