The Seminar will identify the features of abnormal stress which include impaired functioning, serious depression and anxiety.

According to Professor Casey, "Stress is universal and is not always detrimental to health, often conferring benefits to the individual. In the face of a major stressful event not everybody suffers from abnormal symptoms and this is determined more by the personality of the individual and their social supports than by the severity of the stressor itself" she said.
