Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.

That's a very good way of starting because in reality, my main interest was the role of stress and the role of stressors and how stressors really would activate the gene makeup and make us vulnerable to things that we might be vulnerable. But at the time when I was training, everything, psychiatry as a field was very diagnosis-based. So you needed an anchor.

And hence, I used PTSD to communicate what I was really referring to. But the reality is that the experience of stress, as we now know, is a spectrum from beneficial to not beneficial to traumatic. So it really, stress operates in our lives as an inverted U-shaped curve. The more stress we have, the better we perform, the better we do.

If we don't care about that exam that we're going to have tomorrow, we'll probably fail. So it's good to be somewhat stressed, right? Vaccines are a stress in the system. So... We'll talk about this, I hope, but I'm very concerned also about the overprotection of kids to protect them from any type of stress.

Because it is through this experience of early stress that of us develop our problem-solving abilities. And we become aware of our coping mechanisms. We become aware of our support system. How can I manage that stress? And we can. We can manage stress because in the same way that through the process of homeostasis we process, we have a range of temperatures, right, in which we can live.

The same thing with stress. We can actually cope up to a certain point. After a certain point, it's not homeostasis anymore, and it turns into what we call allostasis, when it really starts having a physiological cost to the body.

So in that inverted U-shaped curve, there's that optimal point where your health, your happiness, your performance, everything is better because of the stress you've been having. But after that optimal point, all of those outcomes, health, performance, start to decline. Happiness starts to decline. And it is in that second part of the curve where we find traumatic stress.
