We all experience “stress”. Some more than others. And sometimes much worse that other times. But what actually is “stress”? And what is happening inside our brains and bodies during stress, with what negative consequences? Dr. Levin will discuss these concepts from a neurological point of view and with the specific example of how stress and headaches may be connected.
