What is the medical definition of stress? I need a paragraph explaining. Thanks

Answer 1

Stress refers to a state of psychological disturbances or instability which is generally triggerred or caused by an unpleasant circumstances or situation. For instance if an employee is given a work by his boss to be completed before the end of the day which is not possible in the limited time. This can be a trigger to the employee making him get anger ,tensed to complete the task which refers to stress.

Physiologically when an individual is triggered , the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated , which passes the message to the brain ,as a result the hormone cortisol is released. The release of cortisol and its increased level causes stress .
