Brain Under Pressure: How Stress Affects Thinking, Memory, and Aging

Neal H. Patel

Stress is something everyone experiences—but what is it actually doing to our brain and body? Participants will learn how stress affects memory, thinking, and emotions, and what happens in the brain during both short-term and long-term stress. We’ll explore why some stress can be helpful, when it becomes harmful, and how it impacts overall health as we age. This session provides practical, real-life strategies to better manage stress and support a healthier brain, using simple approaches that can be applied right away.

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to:

    1. Explain how stress affects the brain and body, including how it impacts memory.
    2. Recognize different types of stress and how stress can build up over time.
    3. Identify common signs and effects of stress on mood, behavior, and overall health.
    4. Identify available VA and community resources to support veterans
