'This Is Us': Toxic stress on TV is reality for many Americans

A well-drawn and relatable family, an inventive time-shifting narrative and plenty of plot twists make NBC's This Is Us one of television's most popular dramas. But fans probably don’t realize the biggest twist of all: The program isn’t just a family drama; it’s a medical one, too.
