The term stress was introduced in medicine in 1949 by Canadian endocrinologist – Hans Selye. To him, stress is described as the body’s adjustment to a new circumstance, and the body’s stereotypical and non-specific response to environmental stimuli that disrupt a personal balance, and described also as a psychosomatic mechanism to regulate and balance the tensions, which means the perception and preparation of the body to the specific loads.
Relocation, new phase of life, birth of a child, promotion, career change, marriage...etc, are some examples of situations causing stress. Positive intervention of any kind saves us from falling prey to stress and related disorders.
Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way.
Stress is the “wear and tear” in our minds and bodies experience as we attempt to cope with our continually changing environment
Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand.
It can be caused by both good and bad experiences. When people feel stressed by something going on around them, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. These chemicals give people more energy and strength,
which can be a good thing if their stress is caused by physical danger.

Advanced nutrition for the brain series: stress, the HPA-axis and neuroinflammation. Targeted nutritional interventions for successful treatment of mental health conditions.
Inflammation is a major contributing factor to chronic modern illness and is driven, in part, by chronic stress and HPA-axis over stimulation. Mental health conditions, in particular clinical depression, are increasingly linked with neuroinflammation. As such, anti-inflammatory interventions are known to result in significant clinical benefits.
During this webinar Dr Bailey will discuss the biological mechanisms linking stress, chronic inflammation and mood disorders, together with a review of the current evidence for a targeted, anti-inflammatory nutrition approach to treatment. Nina will also clarify why some of the recent trials have failed to report benefits and how to optimise your anti-inflammatory interventions to treat clients with anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and PTSD.
Stress is the body’s physical and psychological response to a specific demand made of us or to an event in our life. In some cases it motivates and encourages us to complete a task we find difficult so that we can take pride in ourselves and what we achieve.
Stress is the body’s physical and psychological response to a specific demand made of us or to an event in our life. In some cases it motivates and encourages us to complete a task we find difficult so that we can take pride in ourselves and what we achieve.
Stress can be defined as any type of change that causes physical, emotional or psychological strain. Stress is your body's response to anything that requires attention or action. Everyone experiences stress to some degree. The way you respond to stress, however, make a big difference to your overall well-being.

2. Stress is the spice of life….who
would enjoy a life of no runs, no
hits and no errors?
-Hans Selye, M.D.
3. Definition
Types of stressors
Types of stress
Body response to stress
Stress and illness
Occupational stress
Post traumatic stress disorders
Scales to measure stress
Stress management
Summary
4. Stress is the process by
which we perceive and
respond to certain
events that we see as
threatening or
challenging.
5. Any event or circumstance that causes stress is called
stressor.
Stressor as such does not cause stress but our
perception of that event, the meaning we attach to it and
the way we react to it leads to symptoms or diseases of
stress.
STRESSOR
7. Biological stressors
Any illness or disease
Disabilities
Injuries
Environmental stressors
Poverty
Overcrowding
Natural disasters
8. Inability to solve a problem
Coming up with creative projects
Cognitive stressors
Life change stressors
Death of loved ones
Divorce
Trouble among family and friends
10. Acute Stress
Acute stress is the reaction to an immediate threat,
commonly known as the fight or flight response. The threat
can be any situation that is experienced, even
subconsciously or falsely, as a danger.
Common acute stressors include:
• noise
• crowding
• hunger
11. Chronic stress
Frequently, however, modern life poses on-going stressful
situations that are not short-lived and the urge to act (to fight
or to flee) must be suppressed. Stress, then, becomes chronic.
Common chronic stressors include:
• on-going highly pressured work,
• long-term relationship problems,
• loneliness, and
• persistent financial worries.
12. Eustress
It is the “good” kind of stress
Something pleasing will result at the
end of the stressful situation
Examples:
• Planning a wedding
• Planning a party
• Completing your last semester before
graduation
13. Distress
It is a displeasing kind of stress
It is the “bad” kind of stress
It causes the most harm to the body
Examples:
Death of a loved one
Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods
Financial problems
14. Stress resides neither in the person alone nor in the
situation alone, but rather in a transaction between
the two.
Subjective (cognitive) interpretation of stressful
events or life changes
Transaction model
18. Seyle’s general adaptation syndrome
There are 3 stages:
1. Alarm stage :- occurs when person recognizes threat
and mobilizes resources.
2. Resistance :- occurs when the stress is prolonged
3. Exhaustion :- occurs when body‟s resources are
depleted.
19.
20. Stress and illnesses
PSYCHOSOMATIC DISEASES are defined as
physical ailments with a genuine organic basis that are
caused in part by psychological factors, especially
emotional distress… hypertension, ulcers, asthma, eczema,
and migraine headaches
EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS like anger, panic, fatigue,
sleep disorders, depression, suicide/attempted suicides.
23. Stress weakens the immune system by diverting the
energy required for its functioning to deal with the
stress.
Cortisol, a hormone released during stressful situations,
affects the immune system greatly by preventing the
production of cytokines.
During chronic stress, cortisol is over produced, causing
fewer receptors to be produced on immune cells so
that inflammation cannot be ended.
Stress and immunity
24. Clogging of the vessels that nourish the heart
muscles.
Chronic stress causes
- increase in the levels of lipids
- blood to become stickier (possibly in preparation
of potential injury), increasing the likelihood of an
artery-clogging blood clot.
Stress and chronic heart diseases
25. TYPE B
Easygoing
Relaxed
TYPE A
Competitive
Hard driving
Impatient
Verbally aggressive
Anger prone
Types of personalities
26. Essential Hypertension is a condition in which there
is chronic high blood pressure, usually with no
known biological cause.
. An individual that shows an exaggerated cardiac
response to a variety of stimuli is more likely to
develop hypertension.
Stress and hypertension
27. Stress and diabetes mellitus
Cortisol causes
increase in blood
sugar level to help
boost energy.
This may be
compounded by
unhealthy eating
habits.
28. The hormones released during stress response
can alter the numbers and types of immune
cells, such as T-cells and natural killer (NK)
cells produced by the body and also increase
inflammation.
Since immunity and inflammation affect
cancer, stress is extrapolated to affect
cancer on this basis.
Stress and cancer
29. There is intense constriction of blood
vessels supplying to brain.
This is followed by distension to allow blood to
flow back to the brain.
These distended blood vessel pushes on the nerve
causing headaches
Stress and headaches
30. • Asthma: Chronic inflammatory disease of the airways
in the lungs, in which the airways become constricted,
making it difficult to empty the lungs and therefore
reducing the amount of air that can be inhaled.
• Psychological factors
Stressful situations
Negative family environment
Emotional arousal
Stress and asthma
31. It has been suggested that there occurs disturbance
in gut-brain axis.
The large intestine becomes irritated, and its
muscular contractions are spastic rather than
smooth and wave like. The abdomen is bloated and
the patient experiences cramping and alternating
periods of constipation and diarrhea.
Stress and irritable bowel syndrome
32. Ulcers
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Menstrual cycle disorders
Memory loss
Insomnia
Kidney disorders
Other stress related disorders
33. Social problems like
1. Drug and alcohol use
2. Gambling
3. Broken/ problem families
4. Accidental injuries
5. Suicides
34. Childhood experiences
Personality traits
Genetic traits
Immunological diseases like rheumatoid arthritis
Older adults
Caregivers
Divorced or widowed individuals
Risk factors for stress
35. Occupational stress
Work-related stress is the response people may have
when presented with work demands and pressures
that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities
and which challenge their ability to cope
36. Competition and rivalries
Excessive work , long hours of work or night
shift work
Drab and monotonous jobs, job insecurity.
Lack of opportunities for advancement
Unpleasant physical conditions at work.
Causes:
37. Apart from health related problems there can
be
Increased absenteeism
Industrial accidents
Irresponsibility and violence
Effects of occupational stress
38. It is a disorder that follows exposure to a life
threatening or other extreme event that caused
feelings of horror or helplessness.
Common after
Sexual assault, rape,
robbery, aggravated assault
Combat veterans
Survivors of disasters
Post traumatic stress disorder
40. Measuring stress
1. Daily hassles scale: for minor but frequent stress
2. Social readjustment rating scales: it measures the
impact of various life events
3. Face to face interviews.
4. Life experience surveys
42. Life Events Score
Death of spouse 100
Divorce 73
Marital separation from mate 65
Detention in jail, other institution 63
Death of a close family member 63
Major personal injury or illness 53
Marriage 50
Fired from work 47
Marital reconciliation 45
Retirement 45
Major change in the health or
behavior of a family member 44
Pregnancy 40
Sexual difficulties 39
Gaining a new family member 39
(e.g., through birth, adoption, oldster
moving, etc.)
Major business re-adjustment 39
(e.g., merger, reorganization,
bankruptcy)
Major change in financial status 38
Death of close friend 37
Change to different line of work 36
Major change in the number of
arguments with spouse 35
Taking out a mortgage or loan
for a major purchase 31
Foreclosure on a mortgage or loan30
Major change in responsibilities at
work 29
43. Less than 150 life change units = 30% chance of
developing a stress-related illness
150 - 299 life change units = 50% chance of illness
Over 300 life change units = 80% chance of illness
44. Richard Lazarus and his colleagues have suggested
that the petty annoyances, frustrations, and
unpleasant surprises we experience every day
reduce psychological well being.
These may add up to more grief
worsening already present illnesses.
Daily hassles scale
45. It is important to recognize early signs of stress.
If these signs are present all the efforts should be
directed towards strengthening the coping
strategies.
Early signs of stress
49. Learn decision making techniques
Developing time management skills
Undertaking regular
physical exercise
Progressive muscular relaxation
Yoga and meditation
Individual level
50. Family acts as the first support system for an
individual.
Children model their parent‟s behaviours, including
those related to managing stress.
Having regular conversations can help
a family work together to better
understanding and address any stress.

Editor's Notes
HansSelye was an endocrinologist who did pioneering work in stress..he defined general adaptation syndrome and types of stress.
Stress is used as an umbrella term to cover the body reactions, both physiological and psychological, to any event to which a human being has to adapt.
These events are called stress. That means any event or circumstance which tend to disrupt the homeostasis of body i.e normal equilibrium of body.
Stressors basically trigger stress response in body.They can be internal or external stressors.
Not every life event or circumstance causes stress response. It depends upon appraisal by the individual. When a demand is placed on us there occurs primary appraisal that is evaluation of the significance of event. Then occurs secondary appraisal in which we evaluate coping resources.
If we feel that firstly we are in trouble and secondly there are no coping resources we are likely to experience stress response.
Walter canon found out that stress causes outpouring of stress hormones in the body. Whenever we perceive an immediate threat our sympathetic nervous system and endocrine systems become activated.
The sympathetic nervous system increases the heart rate, respiration, diverts energy from digestion, causes redistribution of glucose and lipids.
In modern society we seldom face by acute stress..when the stressors are present for long time 3stages occur.. Alarm stage is similar to flight and fight mechanism. Body then copes up with stress but at a higher physical cost.. Levels of stress hormones may be raised in blood.. Continuing stress then causes depletion of stress hormones..at exhaustion stage. Psychosomatic illnesses set in
Prior to 20th century, the principal threats to health were contagious diseases caused by infectious agents. Unfortunately as we conquered these diseases chronic diseases such as heart diseases, cancer etc are conditionally rising. The traditional view of physical illness as purely biological phenomenon has been replaced by biopsychosocial model involving interaction between biological, psychological and sociocultural factors.
People suffering from HIV infection progress faster to AIDS if they are exposed to stress. Various auto immune diseases like eczema, rheumatoid arthritis develop in people suffering from chronic stress. Incidence of common cold, diarrhea also increases in people suffering from stress.
Freidman and Rosenmam followed 3000 healthy men aged 35-59years for 9 yrs. At the end of 9 yrs 257 of the men had suffered from heart attacks. Out of which 69% of heart attacks were suffered by people having type A personalities. Also none of the pure type B type men had suffered from heart attack.
WHO world health day theme 2013 is high blood pressure. One of three adults suffer from hypertension.
PTSD although recognized from post vietnam war in world.. In india emphasis on it was place after icmr conducted study on victims of latur earthquake..these people were found to have fear psychosis still thinking about other disaster hitting them.
These changes can be detected by the individual or family members, collegues and friends.. This can form one of the steps in primary prevention of various non communicable diseases, depression and suicides.
A number of decisions we make about ourselves have far reaching consequences. Eg: choosing wrong habits, unwise financial investments which can result in endless list of stressors. For this 1st we have to identify the problem at hand. Identify the alternative ..decide best option. Commit to the decided course of action.Physical exercises increases the levels of endorphins in body which help to increase serotonin levels acting as antidepressent.
