Episodic acute stress

\( \newcommand\) • Learning Objectives • Be able to define stress and the types of stress that can impact your human relations. Stress can be challenging to explain, because it means different things to different people. For example, going swimming might be stressful to some, but for others, it might be enjoyable. Stress affects our ability to relate to others because too much stress cause us to be irritable, which affects our communication skills. We will discuss more later on the effects of stress and human relations. Hans Selye [1] defined stress as the nonspecific response of the body to a demand for a change. In 1936, Selye researched this topic and discovered something surprising. When subjecting lab animals to acute but noxious physical and emotional stimuli—such as blaring light, loud noises, extreme heat or cold, or frustration—they all experienced the same physical symptoms of stress, such as the enlargement of the adrenal glands. He saw that these intense stresses over long periods of time caused other issues such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease. His conclusion was that stress actually caused these conditions, [2] not the stimuli themselves. Today, we usually define stress as the body’s way of responding to a demand. For example, if you are stuck in traffic and are going to be late for school, this may create stress. Having two tests in one day may cause stress as you try to find time to study for both. Likewise, you can feel stress in a difficult ...

Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It is our body’s normal response to pressure, change or other stressors. While it is normal for us to experience stress, there are times when it occurs too frequently and poses a threat to our health. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), there are three different types of stress, and each can take a toll on our bodies. They include: • Acute stress– We experience acute stress multiple times each day. It can occur when there is a challenge, a perceived threat or when something unexpected happens- examples include: giving a speech, arguing with a spouse, getting stuck in traffic or getting a speeding ticket. The symptoms of acute stress develop quickly and do not last long. Some people may experience irritability, anxiety, sweating, headaches, stomach pains or a rapid heartbeat. • Episodic acute stress– This occurs when we frequently experience acute stress and can develop as a result of taking on too much responsibility or being overburdened. Type “A” personalities or people who worry constantly are more prone to experience this type of stress. The symptoms of episodic acute stress are similar to those of acute stress; however, they occur more often and accumulate. If not managed properly, symptoms can lead to serious health problems such as clinical depression or heart disease. • Chronic stress- The APA defines chronic stress as stress that is constant and persists over an extended period of time. I...

There are several different types of stress, and not all of them are necessarily unhealthy. Acute stress is one of the least damaging types of stress, which is good because it is also the most common type. We experience acute stress multiple times throughout the day. Acute stress is experienced as an immediate perceived threat, either physical, emotional or psychological. These threats don't need to be intensely threatening—they can be mild stressors like an alarm clock going off, a new assignment at work, or even a phone call that needs to be answered when you're relaxing on the couch and your phone is across the room. Acute stress can also be more serious, like being pulled over for speeding, getting into an argument with a friend, or taking a test. The threat can be real or imagined; it’s the perception of threat that triggers the stress response. Acute stress can be easily managed because it occurs and then it's over. It doesn't bring the toll on health that comes with chronic stress because it is possible and relatively easy to recover from acute stress—simple relaxation techniques can work quickly of your stress response doesn't resolve into a relaxation response on its own. Repeated instances of acute stress, however, can bring more of a toll. Either multiple instances of different acute stressors (a series of unrelated stressful events) or repeated occurrences of the same acute stressors (experiencing the same stress repeatedly) can add up to a state of chronic str...

But when is stress a risk to our health and well being? Episodic acute stress might be the most common way that stress gets out of hand and puts our mental and physical health in danger. Stress is not an inherently good or bad thing — it’s just shorthand for describing what happens when a demand is put on an organism. This definition of stress covers many situations: a goldfish who needs to find food, a grandmother who needs to figure out what to do about a dental problem, or an employee who is asked to do nine hours of work in eight. Acute stress typically refers to the effects of a more demanding situation, like having an infant with a fever or learning that you’ve lost your job. It doesn’t matter if the situation was foreseeable or if anyone was at fault. Episodic acute stress is the term used when someone experiences acute stress with some regularity or frequency.
