ACUTE AND CHRONIC STRESS
Acute stress. Acute stress is a natural and healthy reaction of the body and mind to prepare for coping with the demands placed upon a person. It usually lasts for a period of minutes up to hours.
Chronic stress. Chronis stress refers to the frequent and prolonged exposure to stress, especially when perceived as distress and can cause various health impairments. Chronic stress means that the body is put into a constant state of increased alertness, given rise to physiological, psychosomatic and psychological symptoms. If an individual is exposed to stress for too long during the resistance phase, his/her energy resources become depleted. The exhaustive stage is the result of prolonged or chronic stress.
