What is Stress?
Any experience that taxes an individual's well-being including physical, mental or emotional. Stress can be caused by Injury, Illness, Emotional Trauma or Environmental factors.
Stress is a specific response by the body to a stimulus that disturbs or interferes with the normal physiological equilibrium of an organism, and Physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension.
Causes of Stress:
Allergens, Bacteria and Viruses, Chemicals, Dehydration, Emotional Issues, Employment and work, Exercise, Fast foods, Genetically Altered Foods, Financial Problems, Fungi and Fungal infections, Headaches and Migraines, Mercury and Lead, Lack of Sleep, Low self concept, Medical conditions, Cell phones, microwaves, Nutritional Deficiencies, Overworking, Pain, Emotional trauma, Mental trauma, Psychological issues, Parasites, Relationship problems
3 Stages of Stress:
Alarm: When the threat or stressor is identified or realized, the body's stress response is a state of alarm.
Resistance: If the stressor persists, it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stress. Although the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment, the body cannot keep this up indefinitely, so its resources are gradually depleted.
Exhaustion: At this point, all of the body's resources are eventually depleted and the body is unable to maintain normal function. The initial autonomic nervous system symptoms may reappear (sweating, raised heart rate etc.). If stage three is extended, long term damage may result as the body, and the immune system is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation.
Chronic stress can manifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers, depression, diabetes, trouble with the digestive system or even cardiovascular problems, along with other mental illnesses.
Chronic stress can significantly affect the body's immune systems, as well as an individual's perceptions of, and reactions to, stress.
Chronic stress has also been shown to impair developmental growth in children by lowering the pituitary gland's production of growth hormone, as in children associated with a home environment involving serious marital discord, alcoholism, or child abuse.
Chronic stress is seen to affect parts of the brain where memory are processed through and stored. When we feel stressed, our stress hormones get over secreted which affects our brain.
Responses to stress include adaptation, psychological coping such as stress management, anxiety, and depression. Over the long term, distress can lead to diminished health and/or increased propensity to illness; to avoid this, stress must be managed.
