Researchers found, on average, participants who reported more stress in their lives experienced a steeper decline in functional health over three years, and that link between stress and functional health decline was stronger for chronologically older participants.

Dr. Holland is a very helpful therapist and clinical psychologist. I used her services while I was experiencing serious depression and anxiety. With her help I worked through my issues and got better. I still check in occasionally and know that she is there if I need her.
