Using the scholarly article you located on how stress can contribute to cell malfunction, describe the potential contribution of stress to cell malfunction and how this might affect a mental illness.
Mental illnesses occur, in part, because of the breakdown of neurotransmission from one neuron to another. As you learned in this unit, stress also can be a major contributor to neurotransmission malfunction. Using the scholarly article you located on how stress can contribute to cell malfunction, describe the potential contribution of stress to cell malfunction…
