Can Regular stress Change Your Brain?

New research has shown that chronic stress can actually change your brain.  The Karolinska Institute in Sweden released a study that shows how burnout and stress changes neural circuits in the brain which inhibits peoples coping abilities.

My suggestion is to do whatever you can to change the stressful situation.  Change the way you think about it, change your routine, change positions at work...whatever you have to do.
