Select Condition 
Book Overview
The first years of human life are more important than we ever realized. In Scared Sick , Robin Karr-Morse connects psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology, immunology, and genetics to demonstrate how chronic fear in infancy and early childhood -- when we are most helpless -- lies at the root of common diseases in adulthood. Compassionate and based on the latest research, Scared Sick will unveil a major public health crisis. Highlighting case studies and cutting-edge scientific findings, Karr- Morse shows how our innate fight-or-flight system can injure us if overworked in the early stages of life. Persistent stress can trigger diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression, and addiction later on.

Great book! 📕
Published by Molly , 6 days ago
This would be a particularly great book to read if you are thinking about doing foster care or adoption. This can help you understand your Adopted children better. However, I don’t think it would be very helpful for regular balanced families Other than receiving just interesting information
If you do plan on doing foster care at some point, I think this book would be helpful. Would very highly recommend reading it!
