About
Friends of Hebrew University, WA, are thrilled to invite the community to a talk by international pioneer and world-leading expert on stress, trauma and related diseases, Hebrew University’s Professor Hermona Soreq on The Impacts of Trauma in Men and Women.
Everyone is subject to stress responses, trauma and on occasion profound illness, but men and women react differently. Schizophrenic men are addicted to smoking, schizophrenic women are not. Women with bipolar disease suffer more acute depression than men. Women also respond more dramatically to many brain-affecting medications. Professor Soreq discovered this is due to distinct genetic differences.
