What is Stress?

Normal Stress vs. Chronic Stress

Normal stress is the body's natural reaction to challenges—it enhances alertness and can boost performance.Chronic stress occurs when stressors persist without relief, leading to physical and mental health problems over time.

The Fight-or-Flight Response

When facing a threat, your body releases adrenaline and cortisol, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and energy supplies. This survival mechanism is helpful short-term but harmful when constantly activated.
