As our understanding of the nervous system expanding we are really beginning to understand how devastating the effects of stress can be on one's body.
Our systems evolved in order to allow us to respond to immediate danger but with the further development of our brains we have acquired the ability to fire our Stress-Response (Flight of Flight) just by thinking about things that might happen to us in the future.
This is a very good of a documentary by National Geographic on Stress.
If you get a chance you should read any books that you can get your hands on by Robert Sapolsky.
The book that I am currently reading, "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers".
