WHAT IS STRESS?

Stress is a physical, mental, or emotional factor that

causes bodily or mental tension
 Types of stress

• acute stress
• episodic acute stress
• chronic stress
 Acute stress

Acute stress happens to everyone. It’s the body’s immediate reaction to a

new and challenging situation. It’s the kind of stress you might feel when you
narrowly escape a car accident.
Acute stress can also come out of something that you actually enjoy. It’s the
somewhat-frightening, yet thrilling feeling you get on a roller coaster or when
skiing down a steep mountain slope.
These incidents of acute stress don’t normally do you any harm. They might
even be good for you. Stressful situations give your body and brain practice in
developing the best response to future stressful situations.
Once the danger passes, your body systems should return to normal.
 Episodic acute stress

Episodic acute stress is when you have frequent episodes of acute stress.
This might happen if you’re often anxious and worried about things you
suspect may happen. You might feel that your life is chaotic and you
seemingly go from one crisis to the next.
Certain professions, such as law enforcement or firefighters, might also
lead to frequent high-stress situations.
As with severe acute stress, episodic acute stress can affect your physical
health and mental well-being.
 Chronic stress

Chronic stress is a prolonged and constant feeling of

stress that can negatively affect your health if it goes
untreated. It can be caused by the everyday pressures
of family and work or by traumatic situations.
