Abstract
Many people can cope with demanding work environments, busy lives, personal losses and tragedies without becoming ill. Yet others become ill under the same circumstances, some as a result of only relatively small amounts of stress. A Montreal researcher says social isolation plays a major role in patients' inability to deal with stress.
