Stress is the brain’s reaction to any demand, which can be positive or negative, real or perceived, recurring, short-term or long-term, and include things like commuting to and from work or school every day, taking a yearly vacation, or moving to a new home. Changes can also be mild and relatively harmless, like winning a race, watching a scary movie, or riding a roller coaster.
The nerve chemicals and hormones released during such stressful times, prepare the animal to face a threat or flee to safety. All animals have a stress response, which can be life-saving in some situations. When you face a dangerous situation, your pulse quickens, you breathe faster, your muscles tense, your brain uses more oxygen, and it becomes more active. In the short term, it can even boost the immune system.
Your immune system is lowered, your digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems stop functioning normally, and once the threat has passed, other body systems act to restore normal functioning. However, with chronic stress, those same nerve chemicals that are life-saving in short bursts can suppress functions that aren’t needed for immediate survival.
At least three different types of stress exist, and each poses a threat to one’s physical and mental wellbeing:
Ongoing stress brought on by obligations to one’s family, job, and other daily pursuits.
An unexpectedly negative change, like losing a job, getting divorced, or falling ill, that causes stress.
Traumatic stress, which occurs when a person is exposed to a situation where they could be fatally injured or seriously injured, such as during a war, an assault, or a natural disaster.
People under chronic stress are more susceptible to frequent and severe viral infections, such as the flu or the common cold, and vaccines, such as the flu shot, are less effective for them. The body reacts to each type of stress in similar ways, though different people may experience it in different ways. For example, some people experience mainly digestive symptoms, while others may have headaches, sleeplessness, depressed mood, anger, and irritability.
Because the source of stress is typically more constant than in cases of acute or traumatic stress, the body does not receive a clear signal to return to normal functioning. Over time, continued strain on your body from routine stress may result in serious health issues, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety disorder, and other illnesses. Routine stress may be the most difficult of all types of stress to recognize at first.
