| | Stress (medicine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Stress (roughly the opposite of relaxation) is a medical term for a wide range of strong external stimuli, both physiological and psychological, which can cause a physiological response called the general adaptation syndrome, first described in 1936 by Hans Selye in the journal Nature. | | | Stress can directly and indirectly contribute to general or specific disorders of body and mind. | | | Stress can have a major impact on the physical functioning of the human body. |

| | While Type II stressors are not as readily resolved, they are amenable to mind and body techniques, which underscores the fact that stress is not an external event but our physiological and psychological response to events. | | | We think of stress as something which is coming from out there, and that the best response we can make is to grit our teeth and carry on. | | | The word "stress,” however, actually refers to our response, in mind, body, and spirit, to what is buffeting us--and there's a lot we can do about that! |
