Can work stress contribute to Parkinson's disease risk?
Yes iqbaliqbal, from the bottom of my heart, I do think that PD is the biological stigma of profound and durable stress. Examples are everywhere.
If you're correct then PD would be a common occurrence with football managers (I'm not talking of American football but the real football were we have relegations). But I've not known any of them -current or former manager- to be suffering from PD. Yet managing a top European or south American football club is one of the most stressful jobs . As a fan you feel the massive stress , I can only imagine the stress on the manager would be more than a 100 times that
my own observation is that PD is a genetic disease and stress acts like a catalyst
Yes, you remind me of the smoking analogy.
Despite that it is undisputable that smoking causes cancer, we have lots of people who never smoked but developed cancer and lots of people who chain smoke for many years but never had cancer. Rather than "causes" .... "genetically susceptible" are the key words here
I have a very stressful job.
How stressful was it for those who fought world war 11, or the southerners destroyed during the ACW?
