Stress causes sickness: study

A group of Sydney researchers says it has scientifically proven that stress causes sickness. The Garvan Institute scientists say they have discovered that a hormone, known as neuropeptide Y, is released into the body during times of stress. One of the researchers, associate Professor Herbert Herzog, says the findings show the hormone can stop the immune system from functioning properly.
