In some ways, yes: Stress puts extra wear and tear on your cardiovascular system, and can increase the risk of a number of chronic diseases, substance abuse, and even accidents and injuries. It can make you feel tired and worn out too. Even if the stress doesn't literally add to your age, it can sure feel like it.
