Stress is your body's way of reacting to any kind of command or threat. When you sense danger—whether it's real or imaginary—the body's defenses kick into high gear in a speedy, automatic method known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction or the "stress response." The stress response is the body's way of shielding you.

Adrenaline and noradrenaline are two separate but similar hormones and neurotransmitters. They are constructed in the center (medulla) of the adrenal glands and in some neurons of the primary nervous system. They are released into the bloodstream and assist as chemical mediators, and also convey the nerve impulses to several organs.

A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder, explained by a determined and extreme fear of an object or situation. The phobia typically occurs in a rapid onset of fear and is present for more than six months. The concerned person goes to great lengths to bypass the situation or object, to a degree higher than the real danger posed.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disease that's triggered by a terrifying event — either encountering it or observing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, dreams and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Most people who go through traumatic experiences may have short-term problem adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they normally get better.

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a traditional and severe medical illness that negatively influences how you perceive, the way you invent and how you respond. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes emotions of sadness and/or a loss of concern in activities once enjoyed.

When stress is consistent, your body persists in great gear off and on for days or weeks at a time. Although the connection between stress and heart disease isn't clear, chronic stress may provoke some people to drink too much alcohol which can boost your blood pressure and may harm the artery walls.

Parents who make unrealistic requests and/or have unrealistic expectations of their kids academically, or in any other field of their lives, jeopardize seeing their kids' mental, emotional and physical well being seriously compromised. Children under this sort of pressure often begin to decline to try anything unless they are assured that they will be the best at it. They fear being recognized by their parents as imperfect.

Stress occurs in many forms and not all is bad. It also varies from person to person and situation to situation. Some individuals takes stress quite positively as they perform best under pressure but there are few individuals who hesitate and loose their confidence in stressful situations which results in poor performance.
