Force or load applied to an object.<\/p>\n
Forcibly exerted influence; pressure. Any condition or situation that causes strain or tension. Stress may be either physical or psychological, or both.<\/p>\n
The state manifested by the specific syndrome that consists of all the non-specifically induced changes within a biological system; a disruption in body homeostasis and all attempts by the body to regain homeostasis.<\/p>\n
Physical or emotional tension caused by environmental forces, tending to produce health problems if severe or chronic and not beneficially dealt with.<\/p>\n
Physical pressure on an object or part of the body.<\/p>\n
A factor or combination of factors in a person\u2019s life which make him or her feel tired and anxious.<\/p>\n
A condition in which an outside influence such as overwork or a mental or emotional state such as anxiety changes the working of the body and can affect the hormone balance.<\/p>\n
Anything that places undue strain upon the nervous and glandular systems of the body. Stress may be internal (from disease of malnutrition) or external (from environmental factors).<\/p>\n
The physical and psychological reaction to a challenging or adverse stimulus. Stress is part of life, and some degree of it is necessary to maintain normal alertness. There are two basic types of stress: a short, intense experience known as the fight-or-flight response, and a less intense, longer-term response mobilizing the body’s resources for endurance in meeting a challenge.<\/p>\n
Any factor that threatens the health of the body or has an adverse effect on its functioning, such as injury, disease, or worry. The existence of one form of stress tends to diminish resistance to other forms. Constant stress brings about changes in the balance of hormones in the body.<\/p>\n
Any factor or event(s) that threaten(s) a person\u2019s health or adversely affect(s) his or her normal functioning. Injury, disease or worry are common examples; others include internal conflicts, emotive life events such as the death of a close relative or friend, the birth of a baby, separation or divorce pressures at work or a hostile environment such as war or famine. Some individuals seem to be more prone than others to develop medical problems related to stress.<\/p>\n
Any physical, physiological, or psychological force that disturbs equilibrium.<\/p>\n
Stress is the response of the body to any type of change and any new, threatening, or exciting situation. Dr. Hans Selye, one of the foremost authorities on stress, defined stress as the \u201cnonspecific response of the human organism to any demand made upon it.\u201d Nonspecific means that the body reacts the same way regardless of the cause.<\/p>\n
The physical and emotional tension that comes from situations the body perceives as threatening.<\/p>\n
A reaction of the body and mind to threatening or challenging events in one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
The constellation of cognitive, emotional, physiological, and behavioral reactions the organism experiences as it transacts with perceived threats and challenges.<\/p>\n
Any disruption of an individual’s mental and physical equilibrium is referred to as stress. This sensation can arise as a reaction to a variety of emotional and physical stimuli. When confronted with stress-inducing circumstances, the body reacts by escalating the production of hormones like adrenaline (epinephrine) and hydrocortisone, resulting in alterations in heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolism to enhance performance. However, beyond a certain threshold, these hormones can impede a person’s capacity to manage stress. Prolonged exposure to stress often yields mental and physical symptoms such as anxiety, depression, digestive issues, heart palpitations, and muscular discomfort. Post-traumatic stress disorder represents an intense response to a particular stressful occurrence.<\/p>\n
