Offering others support can reduce your stress
Cheering up others when they are feeling down or giving other forms of support rather than receiving it may have unique positive effects on key brain areas involved in stress and reward responses, new research has found.

New York: Cheering up others when they are feeling down or giving other forms of support rather than receiving it may have unique positive effects on key brain areas involved in stress and reward responses, new research has found. The researchers believe that giving support might improve health by "reducing activity in stress-and threat-related regions during stressful experiences."
The study included 36 participants from a larger study of the "neural mechanisms" of social support, in other words, the changes within the brain that may explain the reduction in stress and other health-promoting effects of support. Participants were asked about whether they gave or received support, for example, having "someone to lean on" or "looking for ways to cheer people up" when they are feeling down.
