  • Lol @ the wrong use of 'affect' in title.

  • Not sure if anyone noticed or commented on this yet, but the title _should_ read "The Effects of Stress" as opposed to "The Affects of Stress," which is meaningless.

  • ALL YOU ARE fools making it a big deal if it was effects or affects! Anyways this is a great video and hopefully the treatment for depression will be here within 10 years...is bipolar depression the same?

  • its true, they need to develop a new model. The brain is so intense.

  • Maybe they meant it as a pun... such as Affects of Stress could also imply an emotional response...

  • Wow! Really excellent video. Now I have some theories, why I am suffering under a hyperstress-syndrom. I had a more or less severe kind of life event, from that point on, I am permanently alerted, although there is no real reason: Panic disorder.

  • Ah, ignorance is bliss. To Affect is to influence, this is the proper word to use - effect is a noun, affect is a verb. Grammar school taught me well "arrows affected aardvark"

  • @medic3452

    It's being used as a noun, not a verb. Affect as a noun means an emotion or emotional response. The title is not necessarily an error.

  • af·fect 1 (-fkt)

    tr.v. af·fect·ed, af·fect·ing, af·fects

    1. To have an influence on or effect a change in: Example: Inflation affects the buying power of the dollar.

    I see nothing wrong with the use of Affect in ths title.

  • I think It's not deliberate, the full title is 'how stress affects the brain and body', so it is about the effects of stress. If it is meant as a wordplay on affect (feeling), it isn't working, it just makes them look stupid.

  • I'm sure you meant the EFFECTS of stress.

  • @j24utube absolutely right'''
