Are women more prone to stress than men? Studies appear to say so. Women are twice as likely to suffer from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other stress-related issues.

At the International “Stress and Behavior” Neuroscience and Biopsychiatry Conference, participants will discuss the latest findings on this cumbersome emotion, uncover­ing the wide-reaching effects that stress can have on our neurochemistry, relationships and memory.
